We work closely with the General Assembly Mental Health Caucus co-chaired by Senator Brian Strickland, Senator Kim Jones, Representative Todd Jones, and Representative Gregg Kennard as well as the General Assembly Working Group on Addiction and Recovery co-chaired by Senator Randy Robertson, Representative Matthew Gambill, and Representative-elect Michelle Au.
Please, respond to this email to RSVP for this briefing on Behavioral Health in Georgia.
As you are aware, medical issues and deaths are at historically high levels in Georgia. Beyond the devastation these medical issues are causing for families, Behavioral Health issues, at the epidemic levels they have reached, are having serious impacts on both the State Budget and the budgets of local governments and the workforce for Georgia’s business community.
Thank you for your support of this important policy issue.
May peace be with you and stay healthy,
Jeff Breedlove
