About the Children's Mental Health Bill
The Children's Mental Health Bill (SB 2804) sponsored by Rep. Ruth Balser and Senator Steven Tolman will improve the systems of care for children living with mental illness by: screening children early to identify developmental, mental health and substance abuse needs; giving schools the tools to identify and manage children with mental health needs; implementing policies for fixing the "stuck kids" problem by ensuring that children are in the most appropriate and least restrictive setting; and, improving communication among state agencies to ensure coordination of care.
