May is Mental Health Awareness Month But at ICL every month is mental health awareness month. And we recognize and respond to the continued struggles of people living with mental health challenges every day of the year through the efforts of our 1250 dedicated staff members. |

Keeping Families Together This month we celebrated Mother’s Day. The holiday is especially significant for parents like M, who experiences serious mental health challenges and was forced to spend years apart from her daughter when they were separated by the child welfare system. As a result of M’s efforts to work through past traumas, her commitment to her daughter, and the support they both receive at ICL’s Emerson-Davis residence, they were reunified. Now they spend Mother’s Day—and every day—together. Emerson houses 38 apartments and provides a range of on-site services tailored to each family’s needs, including case management, counseling, parenting skills training, employment services, and childcare. In AM New York, ICL CEO Jody Rudin calls on New York City to invest in programs like Emerson to support families’ stability and reunification, regardless of their mental health status. On Mother’s Day, Sharon Sorrentino, ICL’s VP of Child, Family, and Young Adult Services, appeared on NY1 to speak about families experiencing mental and behavioral health challenges. Her message was simple: “Meeting families’ needs and keeping them together leads to better outcomes for years to come.” |
