We really need to start with basics in the early learning model. Research has proven that the more structures and supportive services that we provide we start with very positive gains that can be built upon.
These are issues that we need to have a greater understanding of how to approach them. Because of my awareness in relation to overall healthcare. I understand the need to 1. have coverage that covers these issues and 2. Address the stigma behind mental health awareness. Our overall wellness is also addressed with the willingness to display steadiness and care concerning each other's thoughts and existence.
Understanding and relationship are keys to our future and these aspects are what I intend to bring to the table when it comes to our District 3 true honest loving leadership.
