Service Program for Older People (SPOP) is a nonprofit organization focused on improving the quality of life and supporting independent living for older adults through comprehensive mental health and supportive services, advocacy, and education. Based in New York City, the agency serves primarily low-income seniors, with about a thousand adults receiving professional mental healthcare annually, the majority over age 70. SPOP operates a licensed clinic providing psychotherapy and psychiatry, a program for psychiatric rehabilitation, and workforce training in aging and mental health, collaborating with hospitals, medical providers, and social service agencies to expand access to care. Founded in 1979, it began as a neighborhood-based effort serving Holocaust survivors and has since grown to function as a borough-wide resource in the non-profit sector dedicated to mental health services for the elderly.
