Call-In Day


STOP THE CUTS
TO LOCAL COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH SAFETY NETS!


Call and Urge Your State Legislators to:

REJECT PROPOSED CUTS
TO CRISIS SERVICES, CHILDREN’S SERVICES, CLUBHOUSE REHABILITATION CENTERS, PEER-RUN SELF-HELP PROGRAMS, EMPLOYMENT SERVICES, MULTICULTURAL INITIATIVES, OUTREACH AND ADVOCACY SERVICES!

  • The Governor’s Budget Proposes A $7.7 Million Cut To ‘Aid To Localities’ Community Mental Health Funding That Would Take Down Essential Community Services and Supports In Every County In NYS!

  • County Mental Health Officials Would be Required To Either Cut or Eliminate Core Programs That Adults And Children With Psychiatric Disabilities Rely On To Support Their Recovery And To Avoid Painful And Costly Relapses!

  • Given The State’s Recent Trend To Convert Community Mental Health Services To Medicaid (PROS), These Damaging Cuts Will Further Jeopardize Rapidly Diminishing Flexible ‘Wrap-Around’ Mental Health Care For Non-Medicaid Eligible New Yorkers!

CALL YOUR STATE LEGISLATORS AT THEIR LOCAL DISTRICT OFFICES ON THURSDAY FEBRUARY 19
BETWEEN 10 am to 1 pm!

Please leave the following message:

“I’m a registered voter from (your locality) calling to urge you to stop the proposed $7.7 million cut to Aid to Localities Mental Health Funding that is proposed in the Governor’s Mental Health Budget!”
