Mental Health and Lead Poisoning
May is Mental Health Awareness Month! Many factors affect mental health and childhood lead poisoning could be one of them. Lead poisoning can cause learning disabilities, aggravated behavior, decreased cognitive ability, and more. Studies have shown that lead poisoning could also be linked with mental illnesses such as depression and schizophrenia. Learn more about the research here ([link removed]) .
** Lead Free Kids NY
Virtual Advocacy Day
------------------------------------------------------------
Tuesday, May 10th, 9:30am-1pm
Our partners at Lead Free Kids NY, a statewide coalition working to end childhood lead exposure, are hosting another virtual lobby day to contact our state representatives and urge them to support legislation that focuses on preventing lead poisoning for the children of our state.
New York State has the most children with lead poisoning and some of the oldest housing stock in the country, much of which has lead paint that is the source of lead poisoning for many children in our area. Join us in advocating for New York State to lead the nation in lead poisoning prevention.
Register for the Advocacy Day! ([link removed])
