Pictures from Today’s Press Conference and Legislative Movement On Mental Health First Responder Bill


Thanks to all those that participated in today’s First Responder Mental Health Press Conference.  The same as bill in the Senate (S7079-A) will hopefully pass the Senate today.  The Assembly bill (A.7552-A) will take some advocacy efforts to move but we have a strong sponsor in Assembly member Burdick and bi-partisan support.

Attached are pictures from the press conference today.  I would like to thank MHANYS Director of Training, Katie Oldakowski and Chief Strategist, Jamie Papapetros for their leadership in shaping the press conference.

Thanks again for all your work on this issue. We greatly appreciate it. Here is the link for the photos as well as the link for the video. Please let me know if we can be of assistance with anything else.
