Mental Health Matters
Mental Health Matters Day 2013 Legislative Priorities
Mental Health Education for Students
Mental health is critical to overall physical health and healthy living, and should be included as an integral part of health education in schools. Our public education system in New York has long recognized the value of health education. In more recent times we have updated this statutory imperative to include education in alcohol, drugs, tobacco abuse and the prevention and detection of certain cancers. The time has come to include mental health as part of health education by supporting A.1911 (Nolan).
Veterans and Military Families
In the wake of the Iraqi and Afghanistan wars the mental health needs of deployed troops, veterans and military families have far exceeded existing resources dedicated to their care. Untreated PTSD, depression and a host of other mental, physical and behavioral health issues interfere with a family’s ability to cope with the aftermath of war and for service men and women to successfully integrate back into community after being in combat zones. To help meet their mental health and recovery needs they are going to require services and programs geared especially to their unique needs.
