So honored to work with @RepLonghurst and amazing mental health champions in the First State!
We're incredibly proud to see House Substitute 1 for HB5 and HB200 cross the finish line and become law, marking a major milestone for school mental health in Delaware. Our very own Angela Kimball, who helped craft HB5, was in attendance as Governor Carney signed the bills into law yesterday. Delaware is a national leader in #youthmentalhealth with a real champion in Speaker Longhurst, who got the bills to the Governor’s desk. This is the very kind of hard work and solid policy that quietly changes lives. With more mental health providers available for the youth who need them, this is a significant victory for mental health in schools. As students gear up for a new school year, it's worth celebrating that access to crucial support is on the way. Way to go, Delaware! 🎉 Read more about this mental health win: bit.ly/3AeeDuz
