NYHWA is seeking individuals to get involved with a variety of opportunities and activities to work on the goal of passing legislation in the State of New York to provide recourse for employers and employees to protect themselves from those who actively and intentionally bully employees in the workplace to impair and damage their health and career using the resources of the employer.
Some of the opportunities to get involved include:
District Coordinators
Individuals who have been a target of psychological violence in the workplace that have sufficiently healed from the trauma to effectively work with legislators and the community to speak on these issues.
