For All of Us

For Administrators & Providers

We are all called to action. It's time for Policy Makers, Service Providers, Administrators, Advocates, Peers, Family & Friends, and People Who Use Mental Health Services to work together to establish a more recovery-oriented mental health system in New York State.

Start "White Paper Implementation Teams," with representation from all stakeholders. Initiate dialogues with consumers and aim for improvement in service delivery. Identify priorities for change.
