Be An Advocate

The Mental Health Association of New York City is Committed to Advocacy

The MHA of NYC takes the long view in our commitment to advocacy, through which we anticipate changing mental health trends and work to address unmet needs. We are committed to making the vision of community mental health a reality in New York City and State.

In January, 2003, the Mental Health Associations of New York City and Westchester launched the Center for Policy, Advocacy and Education.

The Center serves as a hub for progressive thinking and action to address changing mental health needs. Learn more about the Center for Policy, Advocacy and Education, and how you can become an effective advocate.

Also, learn more about the Geriatric Mental Health Alliance of NY (GMHA-NY), and how you can advocate for changes in mental health practice and policy to improve current mental health services for older adults.
