Community Forum: New York for Healthy Minds Healthy Kids

In Partnership With

Are you a Young Person navigating the system, a Parent fighting for your child to receive services, a Service Provider navigating the challenges of a complex behavioral health system, or a Community Member concerned about the future of our children?

Join the Campaign for Healthy Minds, Healthy Kids (HMHK) as we kickoff our advocacy this year with a statewide community forum! 

This forum is your space to use your voice as we build a movement that mobilizes communities across New York who are fighting to improve the mental health system for children and youth.

Our public forum will be an interactive evening for you to:

• Connect: Meet peers and advocates in your region and share space in breakout groups focused on the issues related to mental health affecting you.
• Learn: Get a clear breakdown of the current mental health landscape—including the impact of Medicaid cuts and new opportunities for advocacy.
• Share Your Story: Talking about your experiences and insights will help shape the work we do as we fight for communities across New York.

RSVP BELOW

Who Should Attend? We prioritize all communities across New York including the voices of young people, parents/caregivers, and providers. We also welcome elected officials, nonprofit leaders, and advocates to hear what youth and families about what they or their communities experience in the mental health system.
