“Sheila Schuster, PhD, is a former executive director of the Kentucky Psychological Association who continues to serve as KPA’s Federal Advocacy Coordinator.

Dr. Schuster, who had a long history as a lobbyist in her home state, played a pivotal role as executive director of a mental health coalition that won mental health parity for Kentucky in its first attempt.

Dr. Schuster credits the early success to the strong partnerships within the diverse and broad-based coalition, including consumer voices, built over the 18 months prior to the session and to the fact this legislation was good for the public.” - Dr. Katherine C. Nordal, APA Monitor, May 2010
