The Putnam County Co-Occurring System of Care Committee (COSOCC) is a partnership of local community providers engaged in a collaborative effort to create a system of care to meet the needs of individuals and families with co-occurring and complex challenges. Putnam is one of the seven participating counties, (Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster, and Westchester) charged with the transformation and promotion of an integrated system of care. The goal is to create a network of care that is welcoming, accessible, person and family-centered, recovery and resiliency-oriented, trauma-informed, culturally competent, integrated, and co-occurring capable.
