Rep. Grace Napolitano took to the floor of the House last week to address disparities in Latino mental health. Rep. Napolitano is the author of H.R. 751 the Mental Health in Schools Act, which would allow schools to partner with local mental health providers to offer mental health services that are unique to the needs of the community. One out of five U.S. children suffer from a mental health issue, and suicide is third leading cause of death for youth ages 15-24. Better access to mental health services will give more of our children a chance at enjoying a happy and productive future: http://napolitano.house.gov/legislative-work/mental-health-schools-act
