Help shape the future of Mental Wellness in WNY. As we look ahead to the future of our work in WNY, we are beginning to explore the creation of a Mental Wellness Building. The vision is to create a shared, non-clinical space that brings together community partners, social connection opportunities, and training environments. We want to hear from you- What is one idea or experience you would want reflected in a space like this? All ideas will be recorded and added to the feedback received at previous sessions. Your voice matters, and we hope you will join us in helping imagine what a welcoming, supportive, and community-centered Mental Wellness Building could look like.
