密歇根签署两党法案包 扩心理健康服务供给
密歇根州州长办公室10月9日宣布，州长惠特默（Whitmer）签署一个两党法案包，其中最受普通家庭关注的一项，是改革有限执照心理师的执照制度，以扩大心理健康服务的供给。
法案包包括：SB 413（由州参议员Wojno提出）改革有限执照心理师（LLP）的执照制度，让更多受过训练的心理健康从业者能合规提供服务；SB 198（由州参议员Singh提出）禁止第三方在未经事先授权的情况下访问受保护的汽车经销商客户数据；SB 102则简化县级税务文件的调取流程。
在美国看心理医生，常见难处不是观念，而是排队：治疗师执照人数不足，预约动辄数周。放宽有限执照心理师的执业安排，目的正是把更多合格人手放进服务队伍，缩短居民等待时间。
对在美华人家庭而言，孩子学业压力、老人适应、产后情绪等问题越来越多走进诊室。密歇根居民如需寻找持照心理健康服务，可通过州卫生与公众服务部与本地社区心理健康机构查询名单，确认从业者执照状态后再预约。

Michigan Governor Signs Bipartisan Bills Expanding Mental-Health Access
Michigan Governor Whitmer has signed a bipartisan package of bills, the governor's office announced Oct. 9, headlined by a reform of limited-license psychologist rules aimed at expanding the supply of mental-health care.
The package includes SB 413 (by Sen. Wojno), which overhauls licensing for limited-license psychologists so more trained providers can legally deliver care; SB 198 (by Sen. Singh), which bars third parties from accessing protected auto-dealer customer data without prior authorization; and SB 102, which streamlines how counties retrieve tax documents.
For many U.S. families, the barrier to mental-health care is not stigma but the wait: too few licensed clinicians means appointments can take weeks. Loosening the limited-license pathway is meant to put more qualified providers into the workforce and shorten those waits.
School stress, elder adjustment, and postpartum struggles are increasingly part of life for Chinese-American families as well. Michigan residents can look up licensed mental-health providers through the state health department and local community mental-health agencies, and verify a provider's license before booking.
