Statewide Trauma/Grief Support

 

June 7th, 2022

These past few weeks, there have been a number of traumatic events, leaving us all to deal with emotions, grief, and pain. We wanted to inform everyone about a few additional supports available to help people deal with grief and emotional trauma resulting from the Buffalo tragedy and other recent traumatic events. Below are a few culturally relevant resources to help people navigate feelings and identify healthy ways to cope:

 

  • MHEP-RISE Center (Mental Health Empowerment Project) is a direct resource for virtual groups as well as 24 hour peer support (1-800-643-7462).

 

 

 

Additional trauma/crisis/grief resources for New Yorkers can be accessed here: https://omh.ny.gov/omhweb/disaster_resources/emergency-mental-health-resources.html.
