Preventive Mental Health Education for healthy families and communities
Smart Steps NYC is a nonprofit organization committed to promote the wellbeing of individuals and families through mental health education, empowering New York City communities to take proactive steps in reducing stigma and improving overall health.
Our preventive mental health education curriculum designs to increase knowledge and support in underserved and vulnerable communities with limited access to mental health resources like Hispanic communities and other minorities.
By promoting mental health education, we encourage individuals and families to live healthier and happier. We empower communities to reduce stigma and share resources on mental health.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to prioritize self-care and take time to recharge. May 18th is Mental Health Action Day, a day to dedicate an hour to ourselves, our loved ones, or our communities.
We also celebrate Mother’s Day in May. We have a program for mothers and their families.
“HEALTHY MOM, HEALTHY FAMILY” is a program that promotes mental health, through preventive psychoeducation and aims to educate families in vulnerable communities focusing on mothers, given that they are the most likely to be the first educators and provide emotional support for their families.
