Last week, SAIL joined and organizations from across New York State to meet with NYS legislators and advocate for the funding needs of mental health housing programs.

These conversations are critical to highlight the vital work being done every day and the impact these programs have on the communities we serve. Increased funding will help ensure better care, stronger support systems, and improved resources, not only for the individuals who rely on these services, but for the dedicated staff who support them as well.

We’re proud to stand alongside partners across the state to continue advocating for meaningful investment in mental health housing.

This National Social Work Month, we proudly recognize the dedication, compassion, and resilience of social workers in our communities and across the country.

Social workers are advocates, problem-solvers, counselors, and champions for those who need support most. They walk alongside individuals and families during some of life’s most challenging moments, offering guidance, resources, and hope. Their work strengthens families, empowers individuals, and builds healthier, more connected communities.

Today and throughout the month, we thank social workers for their unwavering commitment to service, dignity, and positive change. Your impact is felt far beyond what can be measured.

Together, we move forward because of you. 💙

As Black History month comes to a close, we take time to honor, remember, and celebrate the countless contributions and sacrifices of African Americans throughout history.

We reflect on the resilience of those who endured injustice, the courage of leaders who stood against inequality, and the everyday individuals whose strength shaped communities, industries, culture, and our nation as a whole. From the fight for freedom and civil rights to groundbreaking achievements in science, education, business, arts, and public service, Black history is American history.

We remember the sacrifices made, the voices that were silenced, the barriers that were broken, and the generations who pushed forward despite unimaginable obstacles. Their perseverance paved the way for progress and opportunity that continues to impact us all today.

This month, and every month, let’s commit to learning, listening, uplifting Black voices, and continuing the work toward equity and justice.

As the year comes to a close, we take time to reflect on the collective effort behind our work including the individuals we serve, the dedicated staff and partners who support them, and the donors who help make it possible.

This shared commitment allows us to continue supporting recovery and strengthening mental health services. As we welcome the New Year, we do so with gratitude and purpose.

Together. Forward.

This Movember, we’re growing awareness — not just mustaches.

Men’s mental health matters. Too many men struggle in silence with depression, anxiety, or thoughts of su***de. Together, we can change that.

At SAIL, we’re committed to breaking the stigma, starting real conversations, and reminding the men in our lives that asking for help is a sign of strength.

Last week, Dr. Ricky Demirakos, Chief Operating Officer, and Stephanie Paterno, Vice President of Residential Services, presented at the 46th Annual ACLAIMH Conference. Their session, A Supervisor’s Guide to Enhancing the Staff Experience, explored key strategies for leadership development rooted in empowering supervisors to support, engage, and inspire their teams. Discussion topics included strengthening self-awareness, fostering trust through constructive feedback, building consensus, and deepening staff development and investment.

At SAIL, we believe our workforce is the heart of our mission. By empowering our leaders to uplift and support their staff, we continue to strengthen our organization and ensure we meet the needs of the communities we proudly serve.
