New York’s Mental Health and Addiction Recovery Services are in a Complete State Of Crisis:
We Are On Life Support and Urgently Need Aid From NYS Government!
Accordingly, we must take concerted action immediately to urge Governor Hochul to ensure that a significant commitment to expand funding to support our workforce, services and supports is in the budget that her Administration will be releasing in the coming weeks!
Great thanks to all of our self and system advocates who made calls to Governor Hochul last week:
let’s follow that up with a 2nd call TOMORROW December 7 to the Governor!
Governor Hochul has been supportive to our cause but we need to raise
our voices tomorrow and urge her to support
a 5.4% COLA as well as $500 million in additional funding for our workforce, services and support.
We Have Little Time Left And Must Act This Week!
Please make that call and encourage community staffers, peers and family members to make their calls and to encourage others to do the same!
See details below. Thank you!
