Legislation S-328 and S-2125 are both senate sponsored projects in progress.

S-328 “Mental health access improvement Act of 2021”

Rep Thompson

This legislation is attempting to improve access to mental health services especially for clients from marginalized communities in the US.

S-2125″CounselingNotCriminalization In schools Act”

Rep. Ayanna Presley

The S-2125 legislation is generated due to the many instances in which students in public schools in the US are treated with suspensions and other punitive measurements when what they really need is more access to mental health services.
