Mental Health

With New York State’s public health system in crisis, the NYS Association of Public Health Officials (NYSACHO) is advocating for the PREPARE Act to increase the infrastructural state funding supporting local health departments’ provision of the core public health services needed to provide a base level of protection to the communities they serve.  

NYSAC, in partnership with the Conference of Local Mental Hygiene Directors (CLMHD), has developed a series of statutory reforms to improve restoration services and reduce the county cost of restoring defendants to competency.
