Bill calls for Mental Health Workers in Elementary Schools

A bill mandating that elementary schools in Delaware be staffed with counselors, social workers and psychologists is headed to the House floor for a vote.

The House Education Committee voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to release the bill for consideration by the full House.

Supporters of the bill say mental health disorders are the most common health problem for school-aged children, and that half of lifetime mental health illnesses begin by age 14.

Supporters also say the coronavirus epidemic has exacerbated mental health issues among young students.
