US: Adoption competent mental health services can make all the difference (Opinion)
The Hill – September 21, 2016
This September, a divided Congress is put to the test on whether to act for the most vulnerable among us. The bipartisan Family First Prevention Services Act of 2016 passed the House of Representatives and is just waiting for the Senate. After a decades-long push to make a commitment to the mental health needs of children and families adopted and in foster care, this legislation is a leap forward to ensure much-needed mental health services when children are most at risk.
