MHANYS Receives the Mental Health First Aid Organization of the Year Award from National Council for Mental Wellbeing
In a ceremony held at the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) Summit in Philadelphia on May 4, 2025, the National Council for Mental Wellbeing recognized the Mental Health Association in New York State (MHANYS) as Organization of the Year. The award was part of the National Council’s annual MHFA Impact Awards Ceremony that celebrates individuals and groups that have demonstrated what it means to be a true leader in changing the conversation surrounding mental health.
MHANYS Journal: Strength in Community Vol. 2
We are proud to announce the publication of the second edition of the MHANYS Journal: Strength in Community. This new quarterly publication highlights MHANYS’ work to strengthen all facets of community mental health through advocacy, community building, and mental health literacy.
The theme of this issue focuses on the importance of community for individual and collective well-being. Whether it is MHANYS’ and our affiliates’ work around advocacy, trainings, and certifications, to the School Mental Health Resource & Training Center’s work in schools, to family engagement, strengthening community is not a mantra but an ongoing commitment to progress. Check out the work performed in the first quarter and our plans for May, Mental Health Awareness Month.
