Who: Families, caregivers, and adults who interact with children and youth

WMHT has partnered with MHANYS to provide a platform for training in practical skills for mental health awareness and agency through our "Hiding in Plain Sight" grant. Mental Health and Wellness 101 provides participants with a basic knowledge of mental health, wellness, and recovery in an effort to reduce stigma. The training presents mental health as a continuum of wellness and an integral part of our overall health, encouraging treatment-seeking behavior and self-care to manage stress.  Children and youth are facing unprecedented challenges impacting their mental health and wellness.  Families, caregivers, and adults interacting with children and youth who want greater knowledge and awareness of how to identify mental health challenges and strategies for early interventions to promote lifelong health and wellness are encouraged to attend.

Community partners: For the 2.2 million people living in NYS households who struggle against hunger, COVID-19 presents unique challenges. As more schools, child care centers, and meal sites are impacted, additional families may lose access to the programs that improve their nutrition, health, and well-being. Hunger Solutions New York is working to provide updates on the operation of federal nutrition assistance programs that can help schools, community organizations, and families mitigate the impact of COVID-19 (coronavirus) on the food security of low-income people.

Hunger Solutions works to promote and maximize participation in key federal nutrition assistance programs.
