MENTAL HEALTH EDUCATION
In 2016, Governor Cuomo signed a bill that requires schools to provide mental health instruction as part of K-12 Health curriculum. We have all the information you need to implement this law, including a tool to assess current practices and guidance from the NYS Education Department.

The Mental Health Association in New York State, Inc. has received funding from Mother Cabrini Health Foundation to launch the Family Education Project.
