An important community meeting is being held on March 7 from 7-8:30pm at Mercy University designed to introduce you to the life-saving and groundbreaking work taking place in Westchester County to support youth and young adults with, or at risk of developing, co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Mental health challenges and substance use issues often go hand in hand; Westchester County is one of the only places in the nation that has prioritized the development of co-occurring competency and works collaboratively to ensure that wraparound care is readily accessible.
This will be an evening of education, empowerment, and connection to those working directly to support young people and their loved ones. Learn more about co-occurring disorders, the County's commitment to co-occurring competency, how to access the County's Wraparound Coordinator, and ways we can improve outcomes. There will also be a special screening of the harris project's award-winning public service campaign, "You Don't Know The Half Of It."
You are also welcome to bring materials for our resource table to share your work with a diverse group of attendees, including parents, guardians, college students, providers, elected officials, and community and faith leaders. We also look forward to acknowledging key leaders for their support of this work.
