S. 1332  "Mental Health in Schools Act of 2007"

A bill that would improve access to school mental health services: “When left untreated, childhood mental disorders can lead to academic failure, family conflicts, substance abuse, violence, and suicide.” Senator Kennedy said. “Comprehensive school mental health program should be designed for all students. They should obviously include both identification and referral of specific individuals for treatment, but they should also include programs and services that promote positive mental health and prevent mental health problems for a broader population of students.”
