Some lessons can only be learned by living through

Some lessons can only be learned by living through them. Luckily, we have three successful local leaders willing to share their experiences and highlight some of the things they wish they had known earlier in life.

Join us for “If I Had Only Known Then” Wednesday, May 31st, from 5:00-7:00PM at M&T Bank’s Downtown location to hear from these three dynamic community leaders.

We will have networking with a cash bar and light refreshments starting at 5PM and the program will begin at 6PM.

This event is free for Emerging Leaders United members (and one guest free of charge). Tickets for non-members are $25. unitedcny.org/ELU53123

Thank you to @mandt_bank for sponsoring this event and to our panelist speakers!

May is National Mental Health Awareness Month. In

May is National Mental Health Awareness Month. In recognition, we’re highlighting the pivotal role that 211 CNY (a United Way of CNY funded program) plays in connecting local people to mental health services.

Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, Community Connectors at @contactsyracuse are answering the call when people dial 2-1-1 seeking help in health and human service areas like housing, food, financial assistance, and employment. But recently, calls regarding mental health assistance have been on the rise. In fact, over the last five years 211CNY has answered nearly 8,000 calls for mental health assistance.

Because of your support for United Way of CNY, 211 CNY is always ready and available to help connect people in our community to important services when they need it most.
