Take Action: Tell Congress to invest $1 billion in mental health for schools, split between school-based mental health services and school staff like counselors, social workers, and psychologists. We need trained mental health professionals in schools who can identify children in distress and connect them to care. The earlier children get help, the better the outcomes. Sign NAMI’s petition to ask your Representative to vote YES to investing in our children’s mental health in the FY 2022 federal budget.
