Summary

Dr. Phil is taken by NYC Mayor Eric Adams on an evening tour of the Herald Square and West 4th Street subway stations, where Hizzoner and McGraw explore the mayor’s PATH initiative, which provides resources to assist homeless and mentally ill individuals in leaving the streets. Dr. Phil and the Mayor, along with his dedicated response team, the NYPD and the initiative’s Sr. Advisor, also travel on the subway and to various locations to highlight the problem New York City is facing and how they’re attempting to fix it. The PATH initiative combines homelessness outreach professionals and law-enforcement. Follow along as they show how they have helped more than 1500 on house New Yorkers in the subway system and connected almost half of them to vital services.
