Rally for Healthy Minds, Healthy Kids (2023)


Webinars

February 22, 2023

Our Rally for Healthy Minds, Healthy Kids mobilizes advocates and champions, like you, to be a part of our movement to end New York’s mental and behavioral health crisis.

In this rally recording we bring together advocates, caregivers, youth, service providers and elected leaders to call on Governor Hochul and the State Legislature to ensure that state budget investments prioritize children, youth and families amid decades of chronic disinvestment in the children’s behavioral health system.
