Shift the Lift:
Building the Workforce That Helps Kids and Families
Across New York State, schools and communities are facing an urgent need for well-trained, well-supported mental health professionals. NYSMHA exists to meet that need by connecting education, community, and workforce systems to grow, prepare, and retain the people who care for our youth and families.
We’re not another agency. We’re an innovative alliance: a bridge between classrooms, colleges, and careers in mental health who focus on recruitment, retention, respecialization, and sustainability.
