 much more must be done  to  identify  risk  factors,  develop  community
 response and support strategies and to increase access to treatment.
   The  legislature intends to build on the initial aggressive efforts of
 the executive and legislative by recognizing the significant role mental
 and behavioral health professionals  play  in  identifying  the  warning
 signs of heroin and opioid addiction in our children and the maladaptive
 behaviors  that  lead  to  early  drug  use  and  ultimately  abuse  and
 addiction. The legislature recognizes  that  certified  school  psychol-
 ogists  are  uniquely  qualified  to  identify  the  risk and protective
 factors, coupled with adverse childhood experiences which constitute the
 drug abuse  process.  However,  these  highly  trained  specialists  are
 constrained  to  provide  vital services to the school setting only. The
 legislature finds that the state's mission to  address  the  heroin  and
