One of SCY's focus areas is equitable access to high quality mental health services. May is recognized as
Mental Health Month and provides an additional opportunity to work with our partners to provide support and share
resources. Reducing the
stigma around mental health issues can be a challenge, but it is crucial to recognize it as an integral part of preventing violence.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Levin, MPH
