Even before the coronavirus pandemic, there were already profound mental health inequities in New York City. Communities of color experienced a higher incidence of
mental health needs yet were less likely to be connected to care. Five ways in which the pandemic is exacerbating these inequities.
This guide includes mental health resources and
information that can help people with justice
involvement, people with loved ones who are
or were recently incarcerated, and caregivers of
children with incarcerated parents find mental
health support during the COVID-19 pandemic.
