Dear coalition member or friend:
CCIT-NYC is hosting an online meeting of organizational supporters
Date: Thursday July 23rd
Time: 3:00 pm
Location: Zoom see invite below
Please limit organizational attendance to 2 people per organization.
CCIT-NYC will discuss our recent attempts to secure funding for our peer driven health team response to crisis calls.
While we did not get funding for our proposal in this year’s budget CCIT-NYC is continuing to work with elected officials to create a larger citywide mental health team response to crisis calls. We are optimistic with all our supporters rallying with us a mental health team response to crisis calls will happen in near future.
