Georgia Governor Brian Kemp Signs Mental Health Bill for Military Veterans

Georgia Governor Brian Kemp has signed a new bill to provide grants for mental health services for military veterans. The new law will establish a grant program to assist veterans suffering from mental health disorders or at risk of suicide. The grants will be available to eligible organizations that provide mental health services to veterans and their families. State appropriations and private donations will fund the program, and the grants will be awarded competitively. The program’s goal is to help veterans get the mental health services they need and reduce the rate of suicide among veterans in Georgia.
