Free Training Opportunity!

Become a certified MHANYS CarePath™ Coach with this FREE certification training opportunity!

Thanks to the Brave of Heart Fund and Mental Health America, MHANYS is able to offer this opportunity to certify NYS MHANYS CarePath™ Coaches and support the mental wellbeing of NYS frontline healthcare workers and their families. Upon certification, we ask you offer this program to only three frontline healthcare workers and their families.

Frontline workers include non-medical staff, home health aides, geriatric caregivers, hospice staff, behavioral health staff, residential staff, school nurses, school counselors, and others.

With your certification, you can provide coaching services to others in your community.
