OMH Regional Forums: Planning Ahead for the Impact of Federal Actions

by The Alliance for Rights and Recovery

Dear Colleagues:

The ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ State Office of Mental Health is hosting a series of forums to discuss the recent federal actions and plan for potential impacts on ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿â€™s mental health system. These forums – five virtual and one in-person – follow two town hall meetings that were hosted by the agency this summer, and are designed to gather feedback from provider agencies, associations, advocacy organizations, and county leadership.

One virtual forum is slated for each OMH region and there will be one in-person discussion in Albany:

  • Western ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ Region
    • 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Monday, Nov. 3
    • Webex Registration:
  • Hudson River Region
    • 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Thursday, Nov. 6
    • Webex Registration:
  • ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ City Region
    • 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Monday, Nov. 10
    • Webex Registration:
  • Long Island Region
    • 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 12
    • Webex Registration:
  • Central ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ Region
    • 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Friday, Nov. 21
    • Webex Registration:

Each forum will cover the same content, featuring an opening presentation, followed by small break-out group discussions. During the break-out discussions, an OMH facilitator will ask participants specific questions aimed at planning ahead to help ºÚÁÏÕýÄÜÁ¿ers maintain coverage and access to care, provide technical support to help agencies maintain revenue streams, and discuss other topics related to the federal actions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Attendance will be limited at both the virtual and in-person meetings to ensure the break-out groups are small. Advanced registration is required to join, for your applicable region. Please limit attendance to those who will be able to communicate during these discussions organizationally. OMH staff attendance is limited to those supporting the presentation or break-out groups.  Questions may be directed to Planning@omh.ny.gov.
