I so hope that the NYS assembly does the right thing to help children in need. Vote to pass A2033A! @CarlHeastie

[NYASP @nyasp]

S3036A passed the Senate today. The assembly has the opportunity to do the right thing by passing A2033A. Do they have the will and intention to help children and families access mental health services? Please do the right thing @CarlHeastie @LindaBRosenthal @PatriciaFahy109

[NYASP @nyasp]

Thankful for @SenatorBrouk & @tobystavisky in advancing #SchoolPsychology licensure in the Senate Higher Education Committee 👏🏽

Normal anxiety goes away quickly. It becomes a concern when feelings are intense, go on for weeks and get in the way of a teen’s ability to learn, engage in home/school/work & enjoy daily life. Many teens needing help don’t get it @LindaBRosenthal @PatriciaFahy109 #VoicesofYouth

[NYASP @nyasp]

Black youths are at higher risk for depress, anx, & other MH struggles than non-Black peers. Getting MH care seems like place to start but they are likely to encounter systemic barriers @LindaBRosenthal @PatriciaFahy109 @SenatorBrouk #VoicesofYouth #ChildrensMentalHealthAwareness

[NYASP @nyasp]

69% of LGBTQ+ youth report feeling persistently sad & hopeless. 60% who wanted MH care were not able to get it. @TrevorProject and @CapitalPrideCtr support licensing school psychs @LindaBRosenthal @PatriciaFahy109 @tobystavisky #VoicesofYouth #ChildrensMentalHealthAwareness

[NYASP @nyasp]

As we kick off #ChildrensMentalHealthAwareness week, it is important to center the #VoicesofYouth in the conversation. Listen to THEIR VOICE. Inc MH access is critical to their wellbeing @LindaBRosenthal @PatriciaFahy109 @tobystavisky @SenatorBrouk @NYSA_Majority

During Disability Pride Month we honor the history, achievements, experiences, and struggles of the disability community. School psychologists are committed to helping ALL students thrive in school and in their lives regardless of different abilities #DisabilityPrideMonth

[NYASP @nyasp]

Children’s MH becomes a ‘public health emergency’ The MH crisis has become so dire, local medical experts are sounding the alarm. Headlines like this will dominate our news feed until we address access to MH services @PatriciaFahy109 @LindaBRosenthal https://t.co/njzAi3LL0z

[Elizabeth Rizzi @bethrizi]

Perfectly said @Dr_Faustino the kids need our help NOW! @PatriciaFahy109

[Peter Faustino @Dr_Faustino]

Let's stop discussing how to open the door and just open it and walk through.
See what's on the other side @PatriciaFahy109 🙏🏽

NYU Suicide researcher Dr Morris-Perez wrote in support of A2033 “This legislation is absolutely critical in this time of rising youth mental health needs. These bills receive my strongest support” @PatriciaFahy109 @LindaBRosenthal @NYSA_Majority

[NYASP @nyasp]

Young people in America are experiencing a MH crisis. The gap between supply & demand for MH services has real consequences. Youth suicide inc w/community shortages of MH professionals @PatriciaFahy109 https://t.co/An5dwImTmy
