Governor Markell Highlights Importance of Mental Health Services During FY14 Budget

DOVER -- Governor Jack Markell unveiled a balanced budget proposal that invests in jobs, education and the safety and well-being of our children. His budget keeps the focus on core commitments such as healthcare and public safety and ensures continued fiscal responsibility.

"We want to make sure we are growing jobs while ensuring the safety and well-being of our children," Governor Markell said. "This budget addresses critical needs of the world we now live in, while considering demands that will be placed on us in the years ahead."

The Governor expanded on a series of proposals from his State of the State aimed at ensuring Delaware's children are fully supported within their communities and exposed to positive opportunities.

"Research tells us by investing in after-school and summer programs, we can improve academic performance, reduce dropout rates, improve self-esteem and prevent risky behaviors," Governor Markell said. "By funding these initiatives, we address a critical gap in services for children and help ensure they are given the best chance at growing up to be healthy, successful, productive adults."
