I am imploring that the changes made to Chapter II, pages 15-16 be rejected. Mental health services are already severly restricted and difficult to access. There are currently not enough professionals to service those in need. Such changes will substantially decrease children's access to mental health counseling in the state of Virginia and have negative impacts on our future's society. Additonally, this will create an even larger shortage in therapists, as they will have difficulty gaining the hours necessary to practice as a fully licesnsed professional. I implore you to reconsider and reject these changes.
