We invite you to be a valuable participant in our upcoming focus group, where we aim to learn and share insights from workers in Community Based Organizations (CBOs) like yours. Your experience is crucial to our understanding, and we’re eager to include your perspective in our efforts with the NYCEAL* healthcare network.

Topic: Focus Group on Managing Mental Health Today: Join the Conversation!

Join us for a 1-hour recorded video conference meeting. Your identity will be known within the participant group, but your responses will be confidentially organized for reporting without your name associated.

Your ideas are crucial for Staten Island CBOs to develop best practices in supporting the workforce’s mental health, especially considering the challenges since the 2020 COVID pandemic.

Nonprofit Staten Island (NPSI) and NYCEAL aim to use your input to:

  1. Better serve the mental health needs of your clients
  2. Advocate for improved support for mental health in the workforce
  3. Expand awareness within our industry sector
