The Narcolepsy Institute provides screening, information, referral, counseling, case management, crisis intervention, and advocacy for affected individuals and their families. Support groups are conducted by a qualified professional. The thrust of the counseling service is towards providing individuals and their families with information about narcolepsy and developing skills necessary to cope with the social impact of this condition on their lives and thus improving the quality of their lives. Non-pharmacological approaches to management including, behavioral modification and nutritional counseling are provided. Following an initial interview, an appropriate referral is made for medical diagnosis and treatment, entitlements, or employment as needed in individual cases. In addition to the services at Montefiore Medical Center, support groups are conducted by appointment in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. The program conducts outreach to increase awareness among professionals and consumers about narcolepsy.
