Gov. Gavin Newsom’s recently-released Master Plan for Kids’ Mental Health encompasses various efforts to help combat rising rates of mental illness and suicide, and low rates of mental health care service utilization among children in the state.
The federal government is promising to address the youth mental health crisis with more funding for school mental health programs. But there are far better ways to tackle this issue than government initiatives.
The state s Master Plan for Kids Mental Health lays out proposals to increase access to mental health and substance abuse services, including adding 40,000 new workers in mental health fields, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced.
