More In-Home Services for Youths
 

Mental Health has become a really huge concern with the pandemic.  I would like to see these funds used to address this and increase access to youths who need mental health services, whether it be at-home visits or group sessions at a local community center. 

Also, I have a niece who is on the Autism spectrum. Online learning has hindered the progress should could have made in a classroom setting.  I would like to see funding also go to ramping up and helping to close the gap created by loss of in-person instructional time to help youngsters on the Autism spectrum.
