Photos: Governor Hochul Announces $1 Million in Funding to Expand Access to Mental Health Care Across Queens

Earlier today, Governor Kathy Hochul participated in a roundtable discussion where she announced $1 million to expand access to mental health care across the borough by partnering with community-based providers. Five providers, including Charles Wang Community Health Center, Transitional Services for New York, Child Center of New York, Korean Community Services, and Venture House, will be awarded $200,000 to expand their mental health programming in Queens.

"The mental health crisis is the defining challenge of our time and when I took office, I vowed to transform our mental health system," Governor Hochul said. "Struggling New Yorkers deserve a system that is suited for and responsive to their needs, and this $1 million investment will expand access to care across Queens so that every New Yorker has the tools and resources they need to succeed."
