May 4th – 10th, 2008 Health
Care Enhancements for Direct Care Staff
Join
the many organizations across New York State that have signed on
to support a health care enhancement for direct care staff in mental
health programs. These enhancements have already been implemented
in OMRDD and have resulted in thousands of direct care staff receiving
stipends to help defray the cost of deductibles, co-pays and health
care accounts. We think it is time to provide equity in mental health
by providing a health care stipend to direct care staff. If you
are interested in having your organization sign on to this coalition
than send us a note at gliebman@mhanys.org.
