关于我们
Mental Health Advocates of WNY (MHAWNY) promotes mental health and wellness and supports individuals and families challenged by mental illness. When you or a family member is struggling with mental illness it can be hard to know where to turn. If you are looking for answers, we can help navigate the mental health care system and offer linkage to treatment and other support services. Since 1962, advocacy is at the core of what we do. Through awareness, education, prevention and early intervention programs, peer support, pro bono civil legal counsel, and other support services, MHAWNY actively promotes mental health and wellness for adults, children and families in homes, schools and workplaces across Western New York. Formerly Mental Health Association of Erie County, MHAWNY changed its name in 2018 to reflect the current programs, mission and geographic areas served by the non-profit agency. Advocacy. Guidance. Education. Answers. We are hear to listen. We are here to help. There is always hope.
