The 88th Texas Legislature adjourned yesterday. Look out for our session wrap-up coming soon! #txlege

In a huge win for the recruiting and retention of Texas mental health professionals, HB 2100 expands the Loan Repayment Program to include every local mental health authority and state hospital. Thanks to the focus of @FourPriceTX, @DonnaHowardTX, and @moralesfortexas! #txlege

In the knick of time, HB 299 is on its way to the governor's desk! We're thrilled to see this important bill authored by Rep. Andrew Murr and sponsored by @TerryWilsonTX and @NathanForTexas. #txlege

Texas Senate OKs $328 million proposal to boost school security, tighten auditing rules https://t.co/PevFfUIhL4 via @statesman

@RyanChandler98 @KXAN_News What’s equally concerning is the school safety allotment also allows for spending on student mental health. Schools shouldn’t have to choose between support for student safety or mental health. We can afford both.

"What happens is when you start looking at: ‘am I going to fund mental health supports or am I gonna harden the facility?,' I’ll be honest, a lot of times the hardening of the facility wins out — the cameras, the locks, the vestibules," Blaine said. https://t.co/oMtdY3WSwc

@Girls_EN @putkids1st @naswtx_advocacy @NAMITexas We are so proud to work with you, and thankful for your help!

[Texas Coalition for Healthy Minds @TXHealthyMinds]

"Security cameras or a suicide prevention program? Bulletproof glass or a staff mental health counselor?"... Schools shouldn't have to choose between school hardening and mental health supports. A School Mental Health Allotment solves just that. #TXLege https://t.co/ATUDaa9ERb

“It’s going to be key in these last few days to make sure [the] Legislature’s intentions are matched with actions,” he said. “We can do both. We have the resources to fund both school safety and mental health. We can do both and we should do both.” https://t.co/Smqjwa3dL0 #txlege

School Mental Health Allotments fill the gap in services by strengthening prevention and early intervention strategies that reach children BEFORE they are in crisis. Learn more: https://t.co/7GUcrbtp1e #TXLege

May's National Mental Health Month is a reminder that so many Texans (and Americans) cope with untreated mental illness each day simply because of a lack of access to the right medical professional. Learn about Texas' unique approach to meeting this need: https://t.co/yNduxKWQDi

Coalition members like @putkids1st are making a final urge to lawmakers to fill the funding gap that would bring mental health supports to students across Texas through a School Mental Health Allotment. #TXLege https://t.co/3h3V2XEEqP

There is more we can do to support our counties as they grapple with mental health…
