Mental health–themed ambulance debuts in New York

The Greenport Rescue Squad and the Mental Health Association in New York State (MHANYS) last week unveiled a mental health–themed ambulance designed to promote awareness and encourage people to seek help when needed. The initiative aims to reinforce the message that mental health is an essential part of overall health and that support is available. The ambulance includes mental health messaging intended to reassure patients, families and first responders during times of crisis. MHANYS also highlighted its Connect to Care resource, which helps New Yorkers locate mental health information and support services.
