Don't make mental health the 'boogeyman' for school violence, Texas lawmakers told

UTMB’s Jeff Temple was among more than a dozen mental health professionals that recently addressed a special state senate committee on violence in schools. “We cannot make mental health the boogeyman,” said Temple. “They need our help, they don’t need our finger pointing.” The Dallas Morning News, Spectrum News Austin, KXAN Austin, KTSM El Paso, My High Plains Amarillo, Spectrum News San Antonio, The Abilene Reporter News, Houston Chronicle and The Austin American Statesman also reported on the committee hearing.
