Mental Health Update

Dear friends and colleagues!

We’re having some trouble getting uptake on responses from recipients of public mental health services and the deadline is June 16th. Responses from the individuals and families we serve are essential to guide the creation of interventions to help promote affirming attitudes in mental health.

Could you help us by disseminating the attached and message below to your listservs, members, and anyone who can assist getting the survey to people we serve? Questions can be directed to omhippi@omh.ny.gov.

Thanks for all you do and your help on this initiative!

——————————————————————————————————————————————

The Office of Mental Health is seeking broad input about attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors related to mental health. More specifically, the following survey seeks to obtain this input from people who receive services.

Survey responses are anonymous and only aggregate data will be shared. Findings will help depict the current state, of attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors here in New York. Findings will also guide the creation of interventions to help promote affirming attitudes.

The Office of Mental Health recognizes that some individuals receiving services may have trouble accessing the survey, so we’re asking service providers, advocates, and other supporters to reach out to individuals and complete the survey with them. In doing so, please make sure that ONLY the information of the individual you are assisting is included in the responses

Direct any questions to omhippi@omh.ny.gov.
