Georgia’s mental health agency has been awarded a $450,000 annual federal grant to improve children's access to mental health services.

The grant enables Georgia to bring in experts that will provide technical assistance and expand access to peer supports services within home and community-based settings.

It will also helpĀ  improve clinical and functional outcomes for youth and reduce an inappropriate and costly use of psychiatric and residential treatment, officials said.
