SB 5112 - AN ACT Relating to establishing a prescribing psychologist 2 certification in Washington state 

SB 5112 would allow specially trained psychologists in Washington State to prescribe certain mental health medications. The bill creates a certification process to ensure psychologists receive advanced training and oversight before prescribing. Supporters say this would improve access to mental health care, especially in underserved and rural communities, while maintaining strong safety standards. To read the bill choose this link.

This resolution calls on Washington State leaders to codify into law and fully fund high-quality care and best practices for youth in the foster care system through age 26. With approximately 8,000 children in out-of-home care, foster youth face significantly higher risks of homelessness, lower graduation and college completion rates, mental health challenges, incarceration, and early pregnancy compared to their peers. By strengthening and fully funding long-term supports, this resolution seeks to improve outcomes, stability, and opportunity for foster youth as they transition into adulthood.
