Fund for Public Health in NYC

FPHNYC and The NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene are working to reduce pregnancy-associated death among Black women and birthing people in NYC by 10% by 2030. A key step to help meet this goal is to launch – with your support – the Maternal Home Collaborative (MHC)   Designed to address the root cause of Black maternal health inequities – structural racism – MHC, a place-based pilot, will provide a coordinated and comprehensive implementation of maternal health services, centering Black women and birthing people and their infants in all aspects of care.   You can be an Amplifier, a Champion, or an Investor (or all three!) in support of the MHC.   Learn more: www.fphnyc.org/mhcm/   P.S. Stay tuned for Black Maternal Health Week (April 11-17), as we have a full week planned around video excerpts from our recent convening and learn about how YOU can get involved to improve maternal health in NYC!

Dr. Vasan is on a mission to enhance the life and health of ALL New Yorkers — across ALL zip codes. A major way to get us there is through tackling Chronic Disease. For far too long the burden of managing chronic and diet related disease, has been placed on the individual alone. So this week, Dr. Vasan joined leadership across NYC to work together to bring about a healthier New York City. Each participant is taking a closer look at how to leverage their organization and their resources to increase life expectancy for New Yorkers. A special thank you to Deputy Mayor Anne Williams-Isom, Deputy Mayor Ana Almanzar, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Michelle Morse and NYC’s Chronic Disease Prevention Bureau.

July marks Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) Mental Health Month. We recognize that health inequities, or unequal access to health resources, impact Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) and their ability to receive the support, diagnoses, and healing care they need. Additionally, the cultural stigma associated with mental illness can prevent individuals from seeking vital support for themselves or loved ones.    For survivors of gender-based violence (GBV), healing from the trauma and supporting on-going mental and emotional wellness is vital to overall well-being and long-term recovery from abuse. This is why we offer free mental health services at all 5 NYC Family Justice Centers and are thankful to the NYC community of advocates who offer many wonderful, culturally competent mental health and counseling supports across the city.    Help is available for all New Yorkers: Talk, text, or chat for mental health help with NYC 988--your connection to free, private mental health support. Speak to a counselor via phone, text, or chat and get access to mental health and substance use services or go to the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene website for resources and services. Survivors of GBV can call 311 or visit the New York City Family Justice Center (FJC) in the borough where you live (or one where you feel safest) to get connected. All NYC Family Justice Centers can help with counseling and mental health services to support the emotional well-being of you and your children.
