ABOUT US: Since 1980, WellLife Network, has been meeting the growing challenges of individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities and mental illness. Our multidisciplinary approach and centralized referral process help to ensure that each person we serve receives the appropriate range of services and level of care, with an individual treatment plan, coordinated by highly competent and supportive case management professionals. In its early years, WellLife Network operated and maintained community residential facilities for people with developmental disabilities and mental illness, and provided programs of care, service, habilitation, rehabilitation, and social and recreational activities, in a home-like environment.

WellLife Network has a long and valued tradition of working in partnership with the government, the business community, private philanthropy, and our colleagues in the nonprofit sector to offer proactive responses to society's social and economic challenges. Since its founding, the WellLife Network culture has been marked by program growth and organizational development. A Network of Services - A Culture of Caring and Best Practices Today, with an annual operating budget of $100 million, a workforce of 1,800 staff, interns, and volunteers, and an affiliate subsidiary company, WellLife Network delivers critical services in the areas of behavioral health, intellectual/developmental disabilities, housing, co-occurring substance abuse behaviors, family support, vocational training, and care management. These services meet the pressing needs of more than 25,000 individuals and families annually, some 2,000 New Yorkers every single day. A culture of caring, best practices models, a spirit of innovation, and a commitment to measuring results and producing high returns on investment drive our work. A key element to our successful growth is our focus on technology, financial viability, and quality assurance – critical infrastructure supports that enable WellLife Network to deliver services with cost-efficiency, effectiveness, transparency, and accountability in a manner that mirrors the standards of high-performing business enterprises.
