Register here
The Eliminate Tobacco Use Webinar Series welcomes a variety of professionals working in higher education tobacco prevention, cessation and policy, as well as mission-aligned community and nonprofit partners.

Earlier this year the Office of Mental Health announced the creation of a new website to connect job seekers to provider organizations across New York and to inspire the next generation of mental health professionals. Thank you to everyone who participated in our kick-off webinar in February and provided input via the feedback survey at that time. The next step in creating this new workforce website is to formalize partnerships with mental health provider organizations. OMH will host an informational webinar on Thursday, July 16 at 1 p.m. to review the partnership in more detail and collect feedback

The new workforce website will highlight the multiple professions, programs, and settings in New York’s public mental health system. It will also provide a job search feature that will connect job seekers directly to you – mental health provider organizations. After the webinar, OMH will release an opt-in participation form via a short, web-based survey that will provide the information needed to inform the search parameters and results page.

Register to join the informational webinar from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday, July 16 (url: https://meetny-gov.webex.com/weblink/register/r0f5d54b410dd32bd2d98f4ba40ff76d4)

The informational webinar will cover the following:

1. Overview of opt-in participation form and job search feature design
2. How to highlight specialties and populations served
3. Categories of career areas, titles, and work settings
4. Feedback discussion and Q&A

The webinar will be recorded. Please stay tuned for the opt-in participation form that will be released soon. If you have any questions, please contact Planning@omh.ny.gov.

The New York State Office of Mental Health and Department of Health are hosting in-person and virtual meetings this summer to gather recommendations to improve mental health services for children with complex mental health needs. Meetings are scheduled throughout the state between late July and mid-September to hear directly from families, youth, providers, stakeholders, and anyone who supports young people with mental health needs requiring intensive services.

The focus of these meetings is to help inform the redesign of intensive home and community-based mental health services for children and families statewide, with an emphasis on improving access, quality, and outcomes. These conversations were prompted by the C.K. v. McDonald Settlement Agreement and will help with the development of an Implementation Plan for system change.

Please share information about these events with the families and young people you serve.
