should call the NYC Poison Center immediately, even if there are no symptoms of
poisoning. For ingested poisons, do not try to make the person throw up. If the
person is unconscious, convulsing, having seizures or having trouble
breathing, call 911.
• The NYC Poison Center is available 24/7 and has translation services in more than
150 languages. All calls are free and confidential. Registered pharmacists and
nurses certified in poison information can provide treatment advice and
information about potential poisons and medicine safety.

Community Counseling
• Local Shelters:
• Together with our not-for-profit partners, our mission is to prevent homelessness
when possible, address street homelessness, provide safe temporary shelter, and
connect New Yorkers experiencing homelessness to suitable housing. We do this
with accountability, empathy, and equity.
• Employment-focused programs and prevention services are the cornerstones of our
work at DHS. Through this approach, we focus on the following critical objectives:
• To increase the number of households prevented from becoming homeless
• To reduce the number of individuals living on city streets
• To ensure the availability of temporary, emergency shelter for individuals and
families with no other housing options available to them
• To increase client engagement and responsibility in moving to permanent housing
• To maintain shelter safety and sanitation
• To reduce clients' length of stay in shelter
• To ensure that those who exit shelter remain stably housed in the community
