Carmy and Sydney, characters from the television show "The Bear," may be fictional, but their struggles mirror the real stress experienced by those in the service industry. Recognizing this, NYU's Center for Counseling and Community Wellbeing has initiated a program to offer free counseling services to food and beverage workers. This initiative is supported by the nonprofit Southern Smoke Foundation.

A. Jordan Wright, a clinical associate professor at Steinhardt, along with graduate students supervised by New York State licensed mental health professionals, provide 20 free sessions per client. They also offer continued care at a low cost.
