AHA, Mental Health Liaison Group Show Support for the Helping Kids Cope Act (H.R. 2412)

Dear Representatives Fitzpatrick and Blunt Rochester: Thank you for your leadership in introducing H.R. 2412, Helping Kids Cope Act. In order to stem the crisis in children’s mental health, we must ensure that federal programs are designed to support the unique needs of children and adolescents, as well as the pediatric mental and behavioral health workforce. This legislation would improve children’s access to a full spectrum of mental and behavioral health services when they need them, and in the appropriate setting to meet their specific needs.
