Education funding cuts by Kenney Government to result in elimination of some health care services: https://www.una.ca/1137/education-funding-cuts-by-kenney-government-to-result-in-elimination-of-some-health-care-services #abhealth #ableg #abed

UNA is concerned by plans by AHS to eliminate the jobs of health professionals who provide mental health, psychological, physical therapy, speech pathology services through school boards as well as aid for hearing and vision impaired students and families. #ableg #abhealth #abed

Elimination by the Kenney Government of a grant that funded partnerships between AHS and regional school boards to provide services for students, families and teachers has the potential to do serious harm communities and families in need. #ableg #abhealth #abed

The Regional Collaboration Services Delivery grant, which was eliminated from the Kenney Government’s education funding starting on Sept. 1, helped coordinate and deliver services to children, families and communities. #ableg #abhealth #abed

The RCSD was typically used to fund the work of health care professionals and family support workers who were employed directly by partner organizations, including AHS. #ableg #abhealth #abed

Without the RCSD grant, schools, communities and families will no longer automatically have access to these health services. Most school boards cannot afford to offer any services. #ableg #abhealth #abed
