Founders Larry and Mary Jo Butz and board member Susan Stoga met with Illinois State Representative Nabeela Syed (D-51) to discuss our progress at Meg’s Legacy and a variety of mental health issues, including the need for more mental health education in schools.
Child welfare is a priority of Rep. Syed, and she provided an update on upcoming legislation impacting the population we and our grantees serve. Of special interest is potential legislation mandating robust mental health education in Illinois schools as part of the health classes.
