Alert: Urge Assembly Leaders to Support Veterans’ Peer Mental Health Initiative

The Veterans Mental Health Action Committee of NYC

The Veterans Health Alliance of Long Island

TAKE ACTION: Tell the NYS Assembly to support veterans’ mental health in the final

NYS Budget!

The NYS Senate’s one house budget bill included $1.3 million for veterans’ mental health initiatives.

However, the Assembly did not include any funding for veterans’ mental health.

Call the Assembly Committee Chairs on Mental Health and on Veterans’ Affairs asking them to support a

$1.3 million veterans’ mental health initiative in the final NYS budget. The initiative will support a variety

of programs to meet the behavioral health needs of veterans, including crucial peer support programs.
