English: Aside from strengthening the school-based mental health program, the Basic Education Mental Health and Well-Being Promotion Act (Senate Bill No. 2200), which Gatchalian authored and sponsored, also prescribes the hiring of qualified and competent personnel to deliver mental health services. The proposed measure creates the new plantilla positions of School Counselor Associate I to V, School Counselor I to IV, and Schools Division Counselor. Gatchalian emphasized that by creating more positions, mental health services can become more accessible to learners.
Filipino: Maliban sa pagpapatatag sa school-based mental health program, isinusulong din ng Basic Education Mental Health and Well-Being Promotion Act (Senate Bill No. 2200) na akda ni Gatchalian ang pag-hire sa mga kwalipikadong kawani sa paghahatid ng mga serbisyong pang-mental health. Nililikha din ng naturang panukala ang mga bagong plantilla position na School Counselor Associate I hanggang V, School Counselor I hanggang IV, at Schools Division Counselor. Sa paglikha ng mas marami pang mga posisyon, binigyang diin ni Gatchalian na maibibigay na sa mga mag-aaral ang mga kinakailangan nilang serbisyo sa mental health.
