Gayle Channing Tenenbaum lobbies for the Public Children’s Services Association of Ohio. But in a hearing before an Ohio house of representatives committee that’s considering cuts to mental health services, Tennebaum told her own story about how she grew up without getting mental health care she needed. She told the lawmakers that it has had a profound effect on her mental health as an adult.
