Mental Health Update

The power of community has never been more important. We rely on each other not only for our own wellness, but for the health and strength of the communities we share. This Giving Tuesday and Season of Giving, let’s come together to empower, educate, inspire, and spread hope for mental health and wellness.

Yesterday, a team from MHANYS traveled to the Albany Capital City Rescue Mission to donate t-shirts, coats, and other warm apparel to support those experiencing with homelessness. The City Rescue Mission provides food, shelter, clothing, and medical services. Being part of the community is about helping one another. MHANYS is proud to support the mission of “Giving Hope…Transforming Lives.”

At the same time, MHANYS also relies on support from the community. You can support our efforts with a donation to MHANYS’ Community Mental Health Education Fund. This allows MHANYS to offer no-cost trainings to those who want to learn about mental health and how to better support those in their community.

This year is especially meaningful as MHANYS celebrates 65 years of advancing mental health across New York. At our core, we are guided by five pillars – empowerment through education, building resilience, strength in community, advocacy, and combating stigma. In short, this is The MHANYS Way!

Giving Tuesday is a global reminder of what we can achieve together through generosity, collaboration, and compassion. Let’s resolve to carry the spirit of the day today and always!
