Our MHAP Youth Advocates provide free, interactive, and educational workshops on the topic of mental health.
We serve youth (primarily through schools), CBOs, parent groups, staff, and others interested in our services.
*MHAP workshops are now being provided remotely and in person.*
The purpose of our workshops is to
(1) increase understanding of common mental illnesses
(2) engage in open conversation about mental health
(3) define, address and eliminate stigma, and
(4) educate communities.
Topics covered in our workshops include:
Mental Health 101 • Healthy Relationships • Mental Health Stigma • Social Media & Its Effects on Mental Health • Self Care • Micro-aggressions • Individual Identity and Mental Health • Coping with Transitions • Anti-Bullying
Since January 2019, MHAP has conducted 674 workshops & reached 17,072 people in all 5 boroughs of NYC!
