MHANYS Policy Priorities


As the Governor introduces the Budget today,  listed below are MHANYS top priorities for this session with attached documents.  We expect to see references to behavioral health parity and network adequacy in the budget narrative.  We will certainly look for other mental health priorities especially if there is mention of a COLA for the Human Service Workforce.

  1. Human Services Workforce Funding
  2. History of the human services COLA
  3. MHANYS behavioral health career pipeline proposal
  4. Behavioral Health Parity (F)
  5. Non-profit pension study bill drafted by MHANYS
  6. Mental-Health-First-Aid-Information
  7. MHANYS mental health and higher education proposal
  8. MHANYS mental health and higher education and draft legislation
  9. Leave of absence policy guidance for higher education
