85% of Medicaid-eligible children in NY are not receiving the outpatient clinical services they need & nearly 500 more practitioners are needed to fill the gap. Lic school psychologists can help! @LindaBRosenthal@AliciaHyndman https://t.co/702fyb3soY?

“The shortage of MH practitioners in NY rural counties may be the most severe, w/all counties designated by federal gov as areas having professional shortages” Licensing school psychologists will help but we need @NYSA_Majority to act @LindaBRosenthal https://t.co/v5Wbx8zc0d
