By Laura Nahmias Politico New York September 15, 2015
New York City’s first lady Chirlane McCray will deliver the keynote address Wednesday at the New York Association of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services’ annual conference, her office announced.
McCray, who has made mental health issues her main priority in recent months, is set to speak at the conference of psychiatric care providers in Kerhonkson, New York.
McCray has promised to unveil a “mental health roadmap,” a new policy initiative aimed at substantively altering New York City’s current system of mental health care delivery, sometime this fall.
