Listen "Mental Health in Central New York"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of What We Can Do, we will have a much-needed conversation about the state of Mental Health in our local community as well as the myriad resources available to support individuals and families in our local community. As always, we end our conversation with a call to action delivered by each of our panelists, which provides listeners with tangible and pragmatic things we can do to care for our mental health and support the well-being of those around us.
We will be joined by three local service providers, each with a unique vantage point and perspective when it comes to Mental Health:
Latisha Burke, System of Care Director for Adult Mental Health with Onondaga County.
Owenjuneduh (Susan Lyons), Founder of Ongwathonde, a grassroots suicide prevention group; and Mobile Crisis Responder at Liberty Resources.
Stephanie Grandjean, Assistant Director of Crisis Services at Contact Community Services.
We hope you enjoy the conversation and become more knowledgeable about mental health in our community.

If you are in the Central New York area, please call 315-251-0600 or TEXT GOT5 to 741741. Alternatively, you can contact the National Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.
