“Relationships are the basis of everything that we do”- Dr John Kelly, recognizing the importance of developing meaningful relationships with children and supporting mental health #PowerofOne people.com/kate-middleton…

“Improving youth MH is a challenge that everyone wants solved-Nearly 80% of voters believe a comprehensive approach to challenge is necessary” Licensing school psychs is part of solution. Will @NYSA_Majority take action? @AliciaHyndman @LindaBRosenthal harlemworldmagazine.com/leaders-from-s…

School psychologists are part of the school-based MH system & can be part of the “comprehensive” community support system. The @NYSA_Majority needs to pass licensing for school psychologists @LindaBRosenthal @AliciaHyndman cityandstateny.com/sponsors/spons…

Voters in NY agree we have an urgent need for comprehensive approach to the youth MH challenge. 6 out of 10 say we don’t have enough resources in the community to meet needs. Will our legislators listen? @AliciaHyndman @LindaBRosenthal @NYSA_Majority poughkeepsiejournal.com/story/opinion/…

Lack of access to MH services leads to exacerbation of children’s issues resulting in families needing ER care. Frightening for parents. Licensing school psychs would inc access. Why would licensed psychs stand in the way? @LindaBRosenthal @AliciaHyndman npr.org/sections/shots…

“The shortage of MH practitioners in NY rural counties may be the most severe, w/all counties designated by federal gov as areas having professional shortages” Licensing school psychologists will help but we need @NYSA_Majority to act @LindaBRosenthal riverreporter.com/stories/audit-…

.@NYSA_Majority Are you aware that you can inc access to MH services for children throughout NY by licensing school psychologists? The Senate has passed legislation 5 times unanimously yet Assembly has failed to act #ChildrensMentalHealthMatters @LindaBRosenthal @AliciaHyndman

🚨My new report examined healthcare professional shortages in 16 rural counties in New York and found alarming shortfalls in primary care, pediatric, and OBGYN doctors, dentists and mental health practitioners. Learn more ⬇️ osc.ny.gov/press/releases…

Comptroller’s report says rural NY counties face shortage of health professionals. 25% of counties in NY have 5 or fewer lic psychologists. Why do lic psychs oppose licensing school psychologists to inc access for children? @LindaBRosenthal @AliciaHyndman spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny…

Licensing school psychs is necessary step to prevent disruptions in authorization for these professionals to provide vital evaluation & intervention services. Infants & children suffer when @NYSA_Majority fails to act @LindaBRosenthal @AliciaHyndman northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/521…

The NYS Legislature passed legislation to authorize school psychologists to provide vital evaluation & intervention EI services. We need @GovKathyHochul to sign this legislation to prevent further delay in services to infants @AFCNewYork northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/521…

New York Early Intervention program is failing to provide vital services to it’s babies and toddlers. @ncpr @childrensagenda northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/521…

The pandemic correlated w/ an sig inc in MH-related emergency department visits & longer stays, particularly among female middle & HS students in NYC. The trend has continued and the need for services are high @LindaBRosenthal @AliciaHyndman @NYSA_Majority sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

In NYC there are serious WF shortages among MH professionals w/families waiting weeks or months for appts & struggling to find providers who speak their language @NYSA_Majority failed to act on licensing school psychologists @LindaBRosenthal @AliciaHyndman tc.columbia.edu/articles/2025/…

This is why @RuralSchoolsNY supports the licensing of school psychs. We need MH professionals who work w/ children in community & school. Yet @NYSA_Majority failed to take action on legis that passed Senate 5 times. Shameful @LindaBRosenthal @AliciaHyndman voicenews.com/2025/06/27/edu…

This only exacerbates a problem due to MH shortages in the community. Yet the @NYSA_Majority failed to act on licensing school psychs which would bring Medicaid $ into schools & inc access to services in community. Shameful! @AliciaHyndman @LindaBRosenthal spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny…

@nyasp @LindaBRosenthal @AliciaHyndman @NYSA_Majority Thank you @LindaBRosenthal for your tireless efforts to increase mental health supports for children. NYS Assembly please take action on A1745.

Children are experiencing a MH crisis & families are struggling to access care due to severe shortages of providers in the community. Champions like @LindaBRosenthal have offered solutions by licensing school psychologists. It is time to pass A1745 @AliciaHyndman @NYSA_Majority

Thank you @SenatorBrouk for your ongoing advocacy & support for inc access to mental health services for children and families by licensing school psychologists. With the passage of S.3278 in the senate, we need @LindaBRosenthal @AliciaHyndman to move A.1745 #ChildrensMHMatters

Thank you @DrKoplewicz for your ongoing work and advocacy
