Sen. Ossoff Strengthening Access to Mental Health Counseling for Georgia Students



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.

“Bringing both political parties together and putting the needs of our kids above partisan interests, I helped pass bipartisan legislation to strengthen mental health services for young people in Georgia and across the country,” Sen. Ossoff said. “There are real and ongoing mental health concerns for young people, particularly students in K-12 schools, and it’s an issue parents across Georgia care deeply about. These new resources for will help train more mental health counselors to service students in Georgia schools.”
