HealthySteps June 2025 Expansion

The NYS Office of Mental Health (OMH) announces the availability of funds to support the implementation of HealthySteps. Our goal is to promote an intentional focus on prevention activities by identifying and implementing evidence-based and data-informed preventive practices. HealthySteps is an evidence-based program that serves both young children ages birth to three and their families in a pediatric healthcare setting, which is non-stigmatizing and offers universal access.

It is anticipated that OMH will make up to 44 awards across the state, contingent upon the availability of funding. This funding is specifically designated for new sites, with the goal to expand the capacity of pediatric and family medicine practices to implement HealthySteps prioritizing statewide access across counties without existing HealthySteps sites as well as at risk areas as determined by higher percent of births covered by Medicaid or self-pay.
