Advocated for House members to support bills to bolster childrens access to mental health services including: The Childrens Mental Health Infrastructure Act of 2021 (H.R. 4943) which would provide $2 billion a year for five years for grants to childrens hospitals for increasing their capacity to provide pediatric mental health services as well as The Helping Kids Cope Act of 2021 (H.R. 4944) which would provide $500 million a year for five years to support grants to childrens hospitals and other providers to support pediatric behavioral health care integration and coordination. The bill would also provide $100 million annually for five years for grants to childrens hospitals and other providers to support workforce training for a range of pediatric behavioral health professionals. Also advocated for members to support H.R. 5131 and S. 2762 , the Pediatric Access to Critical Healthcare (PATCH) Act, which would provide $6 billion in dedicated funding over ten years for investments to bolster national pediatric care capacity. This support is critical as childrens hospitals grapple with a surge in caseloads due to increased COVID-19 cases, an ongoing national childrens mental health crisis and a rise in RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) infection rates.
