CN Guidance & Counseling Services, a nonprofit behavioral health leader serving Long Island for more than five decades, officially opened its transformative Community Crisis Center (CCC) in Hicksville this December. The 24/7/365 facility provides immediate, walk-in mental health and substance use crisis care for adults, children, and families, offering a comforting, safe alternative to hospital emergency departments (where people can sometimes wait up to 10 hours to receive care).

When someone on Long Island experiences a behavioral health crisis, options for immediate, appropriate care have historically been limited. Families often turned to emergency rooms, law enforcement, or outpatient services with long wait times, while managing a complex and often overwhelming system.

For many Long Islanders, accessing help for mental health or substance use challenges can feel overwhelming and discouraging. Long wait times, high costs, and stigma often leave individuals and families without the support they urgently need, sometimes at the very moment a crisis arises.
CN Guidance & Counseling Services is working to change that, breaking down barriers and creating a system where care is not only available but accessible, when and where it matters most.
