In this second installment of Stories of Genesee Hill, we're collecting stories about how students access medical and mental health supports through school. Like with the last installment, we'd love to hear about challenges, successes or anything else you'd like to share out on how access to these supports has affected your child, student and those around them.

Our plan is to share these responses with legislators and our school community. Increasing student access to medical and mental health supports was voted the number one legislative priority at the WA PTSA 2020 Legislative Assembly and was also voted the number one issue by our school families. The hope is that in collecting these stories and sharing them out we will raise awareness and encourage policymakers to pass legislation that promotes better access to health supports for children across our state.

In your response, please write as much or as little as you want- anything is appreciated! These stories will be anonymous. Please submit by April 1. If you have any questions or comments, please contact Victoria at legislativechair@geneseehillpta.org. Thank you!
