Use Your Voice! 📣 Join our movement of youth, parents, caregivers, and advocates to end New York's mental and behavioral health crisis today!

[HMHK Campaign @HMHKCampaign]

State leaders must address how the health care system is failing our children – families are waiting weeks, months & sometimes years to connect to urgent outpatient behavioral care. This issue demands urgency & serious investments. We need a strong workforce, not waitlists.

@CCCNewYork ED @JenMarchCCC has released a statement on the One-House Resolutions on behalf of the Campaign, urging leaders to invest in the behavioral health workforce in order to address the severe mental health crisis impacting youth: https://t.co/6Tl3OPWHnQ #MentalHealth

@CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins we must support #mentalhealth for LGBTQ+ youth by providing needed services in their homes and communities. We can do this by reforming outpatient rates and requiring commercial insurance to pay at least as much as Medicaid: https://t.co/wThd7BVHzm

[CCCNewYork @CCCNewYork]

NY's youth #mentalhealth crisis needs real solutions to provide timely care options to families, instead of leaving them waiting months for treatment options. We need more providers to support the behavioral health workforce. #WorkforceNotWaitlists https://t.co/WaU0ujPzyQ

LGBTQ youth are more at risk for depression, anxiety and suicide than their non-LGBTQ peers. Often isolation or a lack of family acceptance can increase those risks. Yet there is hope when adequate care and supports can be provided.

[HMHK Campaign @HMHKCampaign]

Safe environments, resources & services for LGBTQ+ youth mental health can make a difference. In a 2023 survey, the @TrevorProject found that 41% of LGBTQ+ young people seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year, including about half of transgender & nonbinary youth
