The Conference was recently invited to participate in "County Conversations," a podcast produced by the NYS Association of Counties (NYSAC). 

This episode features a conversation on mental health services amid the COVID-19 pandemic. NYSAC’s executive Director Stephen Acquario is joined by Katherine Coons, Commissioner of the Rensselaer County Department of Mental Health. They discussed reactions to isolation and social distancing measures, the funding challenges faced by county mental health services, and an increase in demand for these services.
