ALBANY, NY (WRGB) — Next month, more than 300 people will gather in Albany to honor Mental Health Matters Day.
It’s an annual tradition, bringing the community together to support critical mental health investments and programs.
The day of advocacy is being held in partnership with the Mental Health Association in New York State (MHANYS) and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP)
