Willia Hardgrow Mental Health Clinic

The Willia Hardgrow Mental Health Clinic is a non-profit Psychiatric and Guidance Clinic in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant, offering individual psychiatric treatment, group therapy, guidance and testing. We have dreams of reaching out into the community and attacking the very roots of conditions that bring more and more clients to our door. Above all, we seek to deepen our commitment to the black community at a time when national, state and city priorities seem aimed at objectives less worthy than the black ghetto dweller. Since no one is ever denied our services due to the inability to pay, we are almost entirely dependent on the generosity of individuals and organizations.

The Willia Hardgrow Mental Health Clinic has been evolving since 1960, developing primarily as a community service in response to a recognized need.

The late Miss Willia Hardgrow, a Psychiatric Social Worker, was one of the prime influences in its beginnings. The Clinic was named after her in tribute to her continuing inspiration and represents, in part, a fulfillment of her vision.
