About Us
lnUnity Alliance, formed by the merger of two long-standing organizations, The Coalition for Behavioral Health and Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Providers of New York State (ASAP), will be a catalyst for strengthening substance use disorder and mental health services in New York State as rates of overdose and suicide and barriers to accessing services continue to escalate. We offer advocacy, training, education and work collaboratively with a robust network of diverse partners, including our membership of 250 substance use disorder and mental health care providers statewide. This work is rooted in justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion. Together, we are a driving force that strengthens the continuum of care and advances the health and well-being of communities across New York State.
InUnity Alliance offers a comprehensive portfolio of services statewide through three specialized centers:
InUnity Alliance Policy Center, the cornerstone of our organization, advances strategic substance use disorder and mental health advocacy and policy initiatives across NYS and nationally;
InUnity Alliance Center for Workforce Support provides vital services and support to bolster the substance use disorder and mental health services workforce through the New York Certification Board, Center for Rehabilitation and Recovery, and the planned Equity Executive Leadership Institute; and
InUnity Alliance Business Center strengthens business practices and promotes innovation within organizations that provide substance use disorder and mental health services. We partner with organizations like Open Minds to deliver training and technical assistance, helping members achieve financial stability, deliver the highest quality care, and adapt to the rapidly changing care environment. This fosters growth and ensures long-term sustainability for these vital services. InUnity Alliance’s Business Center will launch in September 2024.
