MHA-NYC has partnered with the United Federation of Teachers (UFT) to launch the BRAVE (Building Respect, Acceptance, and Voice through Education) campaign. This new anti-bullying campaign offers students counseling by mental health professionals for incidents both inside and outside the classroom via a telephone hotline. Available now in the afternoon and evening, and next January through text messaging and online chat, the hotline connects students with clinicians and mental health professionals who can provide supportive listening, crisis intervention, suicide risk assessments, and advice on crisis de-escalation.
