  • Children’s Mental Health
  • State Advocacy

By Voices for VA's Kids

The Campaign for Children’s Mental Health released its Action Agenda for 2011-2012 on Tuesday, June 14, 2011. The agenda outlines three policies that will greatly improve Virginia’s mental health system for kids. In the accompanying letter to Gov. Bob McDonnell, we expressed the need for his leadership on this issue.

We want to make sure that the voices of the 100,000 Virginia children with serious mental disorders are heard in the upcoming budget preparations by the Governor’s administration, and this is where we need your help. We started an online petition to support the agenda, and in the first week more than 1,200 Virginians signed it! Thank you. Let’s keep it going! Please take 1 minute  and click here to sign the online petition!
