Addressing Children's Mental Health

February 24, 2022

I was honored and excited to stand with my colleagues as we unveiled legislation regarding children's mental health here in Connecticut (HB 5001).

I’m so proud of this comprehensive bill (which I began to help craft back in November) because it should truly provide long overdue support for Connecticut children and families. Each component of this legislation presents an opportunity to transform how mental health services are administered, including the important component of addressing workforce issues that currently prevent some children from accessing professionals who are able to provide timely quality care.
