Urge Them To Make Timothy’s Law Permanent

Timothy’s Law has delivered greater access to mental health treatment for millions of New Yorkers; however this law is set to expire at the end of 2009.
Without prompt action to make this law permanent, New Yorkers will have reduced access to mental health care!
