Action alert for Louisville folks:

Yesterday JCPS unveiled a new plan to cut mental health professionals in schools. We need to mobilize quickly against this. Please reach out to your school board member this weekend. You can find their contact information here:
https://www.jefferson.kyschools.us/page/board-of-education

Sample message or create your own: “As a mental health professional in Louisville I strongly urge you not to sacrifice student mental health to balance the budget. We are in the middle of a youth mental health crisis. Our mental health professionals are critical for student wellbeing and su***de prevention. Cutting these positions puts our students at risk.”
