In addition, thank you to Karl Brabenec and James Skoufis for your ongoing support of my fellow LCATs! Governor Kathy Hochul, sign the bill to offer more Mental Health options to those in need! You say you care about Mental Health/ please prove it!

🔹 Did you know that there are over 2,000 LCATs in NY State who are ready, willing and able to help reduce the mental health workforce shortage?

🔹 Governor Kathy Hochul your constituents throughout New York urge you to sign bill A3319/S1001 which requires commercial health insurance companies to cover psychotherapy provided by LCATs!

🔹 Bill A3319/S1001 expands patient choice by increasing the variety and number of reimbursable providers available to treat mental health disorders. A win-win for NYS!

🔹 Big thank you to Senator Samra Brouk and Assemblymember Harry Bronson for sponsoring this bill and for your tireless efforts!! 👏👏👏 Thank you to 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East, District Council 37-Afscme and Northern Rivers Family of Services for your outstanding support!! 👏👏👏

If you live locally (Orange County, NY), this could be helpful for Seniors.
