Our Resources

The MH Work Group has been meeting for over two years to learn and understand the current issues and barriers for MH residents in Tompkins County. Over that period of time, we have been compiling evidence, examining case studies, and analyzing policy to help move the needle forward on supporting MH residents locally and beyond. Below are a few of the resources we have either developed or compiled over the past two years.
