DiDomenico sponsors children’s mental health event at State House

BOSTON/EVERETT – State Senator Sal DiDomenico was the Legislative sponsor and spoke at The Baker Center for Children and Families’ May 9 legislative briefing on their new policy report, “Mental Health and Schools: Best Practices to Support Our Students.” The policy forum and report offered nonbiased, evidence-based information to support policymaking and budgetary efforts. Senator DiDomenico is a longtime supporter of increasing funding for mental health services in our schools and for all Massachusetts residents.

“Mental Health Awareness Month is a great time to identify actionable strategies to support our students in the ‘new normal,’ and discuss the important role of schools in addressing children’s mental health needs. I am proud to work with great organizations like the Baker Center to advocate for more mental health funding across our state,” said Senator DiDomenico.
