NEW HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — U.S. Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-3rd District) and local leaders gathered in New Haven on Friday to discuss the mental health crisis among youth. This comes as studies have shown a spike in suicide rates among young children. Mental health advocates addressed the need for mental health professionals in the classroom. DeLauro: Mental health funding cuts will hurt Connecticut students.  “We need to look at the whole child and really think about what wrap-around services and what support can we put in place for children and families so that we never get to that crisis point,” Leslie Blatteau, the president of the New Haven Federation of Teachers, said. “We are all committed in the city of New Haven and the state of Connecticut to making sure our students are more than okay to make sure our students can come to school every day, feel safe, feel seen and feel supported.”
