Good morning,

Over the past several months, the NYS Council has been partnering with Coordinated Behavioral Care (CBC) IPA in presenting webinars featuring self-care/wellness initiatives that our members have undertaken since the COVID-19 pandemic began.  To date, we have held eight programs featuring NYS Council member agencies including MHA Westchester, CN Guidance and Counseling, Horizon Health, Acacia Network, and Cazenovia Recovery. 

Has your agency offered your mental health and/or substance use staff (both those working with clients and support staff) innovative or unique trainings, workshops, or employee assistance programs that you know have assisted your staff to maintain or improve their self-care/wellness?  If so, we would be interested in hearing from you so we can discuss whether your efforts can be translated into a webinar/s so you can share your innovations and expertise with others.

We are pleased to report there are funds available to our members who wish to present a program that features your work to enhance self-care/wellness.  Interested?  Please email us your contact information and include a brief description about the program you would like to offer by September 24.  Send it to Cindy Levernois at cindy@nyscouncil.org.

We would love to feature your organization and your work!  We look forward to hearing from you. 

Many thanks.
