Thank you @nycspeakeradams, @CMLindaLee @ebottcher @keithpowersnyc for working to address the NYC mental health crisis! @theCoalitionNY is proud to work with the Council on these important issues.

[(ARCHIVED) Adrienne Adams @NYCSpeakerAdams]

NYC is facing a mental health crisis decades in the making, and New Yorkers deserve a path forward to receive the care they need. This morning, I was proud to join @CMLindaLee, @ebottcher, @KeithPowersNYC, and advocates to unveil @NYCCouncil’s new Mental Health Roadmap.

@BrianKavanaghNY We enjoyed meeting with you to discuss @TheCoalitionNY priorities.

[The Coalition @TheCoalitionNY]

We don't do a good job showing people what jobs there are in mental health. We need to expose young people to these professions - @A_StevensD16. This is such a key point! Our workforce workgroup had several ideas for how to share more about this work.

[The Coalition @TheCoalitionNY]

@CMLindaLee starts @NYCCouncil hearing on Youth Access to Mental Health Services w scary data on kids mental health & highlights the workforce crisis. We'll be sharing solutions in our testimony w/ members @AstorServices @UnivSettlement @vnshealth @SamaritansNYC @vibrantforall

Improving provider reimbursement rates will not only make mental health care more accessible to low income families, but also incentivize more people to enter the mental health care workforce. https://t.co/cM8BmgWWqq

How am I supposed to tell these staff you are worth only $15/hour? So many individuals need peer services, we need to provide competitive salaries - powerful words from Taina Lang, @balticstreet

[The Coalition @TheCoalitionNY]

Our rally for an 8.5% COLA is about to start at warren and broadway!

Our workforce is in crisis! Good first steps were taken in last year's budget but far more must be done to get children & families the care they need. @GovKathyHochul https://t.co/4TVElAAbMc

[The Coalition @TheCoalitionNY]

Low salaries in the mental health field lead to waitlists and less access to care @ICL_inc

[The Coalition @TheCoalitionNY]

Must read from @CrainsNewYork shows how people with mental illness fall through the gaping holes in our system, and how with appropriate services people can lead healthy lives https://t.co/sB21raEp0y @mayakauf
