The Mental Health Association of Westchester (MHA) has been named one of 15 teams state-wide to receive funding awards, totaling $21 million, to provide Youth Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) services. New York Governor Kathy Hochul has selected MHA as the only agency to deliver Youth ACT services in the Mid-Hudson region, and New York is the first state in the nation to use this innovative program to assist at-risk youth who have not responded well to traditional treatment.
MHA Celebrates Launch of New Driving Towards Resilience Program
MHA held ribbon-cutting ceremonies in Westchester and Rockland to celebrate the launch of Driving Towards Resilience, an innovative program delivering high-quality, evidence-based care to populations in need who face common barriers to care. Driving Towards Resilience engages individuals throughout the Hudson Valley who experience limited access to behavioral health services due to lack of transportation, telehealth technology, or insurance, as well as those who speak a language other than English.
State of Westchester's Economy
MHA’s Chief Executive Officer, Charlotte Östman, LCSW-R, joined The Business Council of Westchester to discuss the impact of COVID-19 on the healthcare sector, Westchester’s economic recovery, and the future of the behavioral health landscape. The panel of healthcare leaders in the region discussed lessons learned during this time and how they can be applied as we move forward.
