Greetings Community Members,
The New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH) invites you to join our upcoming virtual community forum, as we are eager to strengthen our relationships with community spaces that serve youth and young adults, such as libraries, OASAS Clubhouses, recreation centers, faith-based organizations, and afterschool programs. Your insights will help shape new youth wellness programs across the state.
Please register for one of the following sessions:
Monday, November 4 at 10:00 AM – Register Here
Wednesday, November 6 at 2:00 PM – Register Here
Friday, November 15 at 6:00 PM – Register Here
If you are unable to attend, we welcome you to complete a questionnaire by clicking here. Your input is invaluable as we work together to enhance youth mental health supports across New York.
Background:
The concept of youth safe spaces originated from the 2023 Youth Mental Health Listening Tour, conducted across New York State. You can view the full report here: https://omh.ny.gov/omhweb/statistics/youth-mh-listening-tour-report.pdf to gain insight into what New York’s young people are advocating for.
Please share with your networks and we look forward to hearing from you!
