ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) – Don’t miss your chance to talk about mental health on a local and state level.

Tonight, in Ithaca, you can share your thoughts and concerns with the Tompkins County Whole Health Department (TCWH) and the State Office of Mental Health (OMH), who are hosting two community engagement forums.

“The sessions are open to all community members,” said TCWH Deputy Commissioner of Mental Health Harmony Ayers-Friedlander. “OMH especially wants to hear from people who receive or have received mental health services, as well as people who have wanted to get services but haven’t.”

The meetings take place from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. tonight and 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. tomorrow at the Tompkins County Public Library.

Registration is required.
