Sen. Ossoff is delivering over $1.7 million in Federal resources through the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act that will help Georgia universities and schools provide children and teens with mental health services and help reduce the shortages of counselors in schools.

Ossoff said. There are real and ongoing mental health concerns for young people, particularly students in K-12 schools, and its an issue parents across Georgia care deeply about.
