NYAPRS Note: Last November, NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio and First Lady Chirlane McCray announced ThriveNYC, a plan of action to guide the city toward a more effective and holistic system that outlines 54 initiatives, 23 of them new, to support the mental well-being of New Yorkers. The NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is now looking to hire staff to fulfill the mission of ThriveNYC. See below for available positions.
ThriveNYC: A Mental Health Roadmap for All
As you may know, ThriveNYC: A Mental Health Roadmap for All, is an unprecedented strategy and set of initiatives by NYC to approach mental health as a comprehensive public health challenge involving many city agencies, including the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. (For more information on ThriveNYC, you can go to https://thrivenyc.cityofnewyork.us/ )
As a result of this, the Department is engaged in a massive recruitment effort in order to hire additional staff to perform the work within the new mental health initiatives that the DOHMH is involved with.
