Mental Health Rally Update


What a tremendous week at the Capitol for the  4% targeted inflationary increase (TII). Nearly 40 more legislators stopped by to take a picture with us, demonstrating the broad support and recognition of the urgent need to invest in the community-based behavioral health and human services programs and workforce . These entities are on the ground in communities across New York State and more important than ever as we contend with the mental health crisis.

Check out some of the pictures here and more on MHANYS social media.

Our rallies continue this week!  Special thanks to Randy from InUnity and Julie from RISE for joining us today.  We had representation from over half a dozen advocacy groups. See you at the Capitol!
