OMH’s Western New York Field Office and the Resiliency in Communities After Stress and Trauma or ‘ReCAST’ team attended a memorial today to honor victims of the tragic Tops supermarket shooting in East Buffalo on May 14, 2022. Established in direct response to the racially motivated attack that claimed the 10 lives– all of them Black –ReCAST supported a coalition of diverse community stakeholders to develop recovery-oriented, trauma-informed, and equity-based behavioral health and wellness programs. ReCAST created a partnership to provide clinical supports for students struggling with community trauma and training for educators, established non-traditional mental wellness programs generated by the community, and funded a dedicated mental health response team.
