May is Mental Health Awareness Month This month, as we draw awareness to the sobering fact that one in four Americans is affected by mental health issues, we are proud to report that the Mental Health Program at our New York City Family Justice Centers has served 700 clients through almost 5,400 client visits since launching in December 2016. We also recognize that there is more work to do. In New York City, the ThriveNYC initiative continues its work to address the stigma that is commonly associated with mental illness, to raise awareness about its impact on individuals, and highlight the many resources available in our city. As part of THRIVE, Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) trainings help individuals recognize the early signs and symptoms of mental illness and substance misuse. Participants also learn how to listen without judgment, and help someone in distress until they can get the professional care they may need. Mental Health First Aid USA instructor trainings can teach individuals how to provide MHFA trainings through a five-day course. Here at ENDGBV, since the initiative launched, our on-staff MHFA trainers have trained over 775 adult and youth participants. Learn how you can get training to respond to someone in distress through an eight-hour training (available to all New Yorkers), or how to become a trainer yourself by visiting NYC.gov/mhfa. |
