Thank you to everyone who joined Break The Hold for a special sunrise walk on Sunday, June 9th.

On Friday, May 17, mental health took to the airwaves on WVOX.

"Your Community in Action" host Arlene Salman welcomed Ruthanne Becker, MA, MHA Senior Vice-President of Rehabilitation Services, and Jenna Velez, LCSW, Vice-President of Behavioral Health Services, to her show. The trio discussed Mental Health Month, what's new at MHA, the importance of peers, and more.

Listen in to show below.

In recognition of Mental Health Month, we are pleased to share resources about prioritizing your own mental health, tips for talking about mental health and organizations that provide valuable support.

We value our community's commitment to raising awareness for mental health issues - thank you for believing in our mission and that #MentalHealthMatters.

Self-Care 101

Taking care of oneself can look different for everyone.

The Mental Health Association of Westchester is pleased to share that Stacey Roberts, LCSW, Chief Operating Officer, has joined Healthfirst's Westchester Behavioral Health Advisory Board. Consisting of behavioral health providers in the Healthfirst network who serve the Westchester population, the Advisory Board provides feedback on quality improvement projects, clinical programs and strategies. 

Shining a spotlight on National Child Abuse Prevention Month, approximately 40 employees of RisE, a Regeneron Pharmaceuticals employee interest group, recently spent an evening creating 60 “comfort bags” for children and teenagers in the foster care system who are assisted by MHA’s Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program.
