Great brief from Step Two Policy Project on BH & Managed Care https://t.co/dMUagqRyjx

Thank you for objectively reinforcing a need to permanently carve out SBHCs:

‘Our conclusion after examining the issue was that carving in SBHCs to managed care would be counterproductive.’

[Alliance @NYSBHA]

We applaud @GovKathyHochul for providing much needed funding to #sbhc dental programs! Oral health is a critical part of care, as @AmyPaulin has pointed out, especially for children. If SBHCs remain fee for service, it will ensure the maximum # of children can receive dental care

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

Under the Trump administration, we have seen Black history erased from federal spaces, museums and websites. 

Here in New York, we will always celebrate Black history and the work of generations of Black Americans that helped make our state great.

Great info on the need to fund and expand SBHCs in this report, too, as part of the MH strategy

A new report from our office found critical staffing shortages in NYC schools amid a growing youth mental health crisis.

70% of NYC schools don't meet national standards for social worker staffing and 53% fall short for guidance counselors.

Aanndd they aren’t being honest about their pricing. This is who we trust with kids’ healthcare, @GovKathyHochul??

‘Insurers reject 59 million claims in New York each year, totaling more than $89 billion’

Say NO to managed care and YES to children, @GovKathyHochul

School has begun amid a chaotic, challenging - even dangerous- federal climate for our kids. SBHCs are needed now more than ever, @GovKathyHochul

'Children want to meet up in person, no screens or supervision... so many parents restrict their ability to socialize in the real world on their own, kids resort to the one thing that allows them to hang out with no adults hovering: their phones.'

Parents and teachers: Phone-free schools are coming this fall!

Districts have spent the summer finalizing plans that work best for their community.

Bassett Research Institute & Cornell University found K-12 students at schools with SBHCs had lower risk of chronic absenteeism - correlation was even more pronounced in elementary schools, those w high rates of poverty AND communities w greater wealth.  https://t.co/0LfJqBWeCY
