Are you familiar with common warning signs and risk factors for mental health issues experienced by youth? What protective factors can family members, educators, and the community foster to positively influence a young person’s well-being? Join us on Tuesday, May 23 from 6:30 pm to 8:00 pm as we explore these questions and more in an engaging Community Conversation centered on youth mental health. The event is led by a licensed clinical social worker and a youth peer advocate from MHA with lived experience in navigating mental health challenges and the mental health care system.

Join us this May in celebrating Asian American, Pacific Islander Heritage Month! 

It is with deep sadness that The Mental Health Association of Westchester announces the passing of Charlotte Ostman, our beloved Chief Executive Officer.
 
Under Charlotte’s leadership during the past six years, MHA and the community have come to respect and love her for her deeply felt commitment to the work, for her compassion and for her connection to the people we serve and to our staff.  We admire her as a strong, strategic leader who never lost sight of our core values emphasizing respect and dignity. 
  

Following ongoing instances of mass violence, we wanted to remind you that we are here to help. We have included links below for additional resources about taking care of yourself following incidents of mass violence, as well as resources for guiding your children through events such as these.
