At MHA, we know that peer support can be an invaluable tool for recovery. Through our Peer Specialist Training program, we offer a path toward employment for people with lived experience of mental health conditions. 

Meet AnnMarie and Marion: shining examples of resilience and the transformative power of peer support! At MHA, we believe in empowering individuals with behavioral health conditions to make choices about their living, working and social environments, and that making their own choices will speed recovery. During our recent Power of Connection Gala, AnnMarie and Marion spoke about how peer support and employment services have paved the way for their success.

Join us in celebrating Black History Month! The theme for 2024, "African Americans and the Arts," explores the rich history and life experiences of African American artisans as well as the importance of art in Black empowerment, community connections, and historical preservation.

MHA is excited to announce that Briana Braverman, a Youth Peer advocate with our Youth ACT Team, was acknowledged during NYS Gov. Kathy Hochul's 2024 State of the State Address! 

Briana, a dedicated youth leader, has tirelessly supported young New Yorkers through MHA's Youth ACT program. This initiative empowers youths facing mental health challenges, enabling them to remain within their schools and communities instead of opting for in-patient treatment.
