EAST FLATBUSH — Many in Brooklyn rely on Kingsboro Psychiatric Center for mental health care, particularly within East Flatbush and the surrounding area. The facility maintains an extensive outpatient care program, as well as 300 beds for those that need long-term psychiatric care. Kingsboro is the only mental health facility in Brooklyn that takes long-term patients, and within the next year it will be closed.
