A new state law makes it easier for children’s camps to hire certain healthcare providers including mental health therapists, social workers, and other specialized healthcare providers.
“Our state’s children have been through so much this year because of COVID-19, and it is especially important that they have access to mental health care,”said State Sen. Samra Brouk, chair of the State Senate’s Mental Health Committee, and sponsor of the legislation.
