Senator Judith Zaffirini (D-Laredo) was honored by the Texas Psychological Association (TPA) with the Outstanding Legislative Contribution Award at their Annual Convention on Nov. 13. Throughout her career, Zaffirini has been a big mental health advocate, and now she is working on creating more access to mental health services through the upcoming 87th legislative session.
"I'm delighted to receive this wonderful recognition from the Texas Psychological Association," Zaffirini said. "Our collaboration reflects a simple truth: Every Texan deserves unencumbered access to mental health resources— especially during the pandemic."
