Too many children & families continue to struggle w/mental health issues due to a lack of providers and resources in communities. Schools are trying to expand services but we need a multi-pronged approach to allow school psychologists to offer their services in the community

As we mark the 1st day of 🏫, we must ensure that our students have the resources they desperately need to succeed by expanding mental healthcare in schools.

No more excuses: #NYS must pass my bill to license school psychologists.

NYASP has been advocating for the passage of bills A2033/S3036 which would license school psychologists & inc access to MH services in the community for children and families.

Governor Kathy Hochul School psychologists are ready, willing, & able (experts) to assist w/children’s MH crisis. However our capacity to help is stifled by inability to offer services outside school setting. With crisis in workforce, we need all available MH professionals. Lic school psychs can help
