Georgia has signed into law a measure that would provide $750,000 to mental health programs for veterans and their families, FOX News reported April 25.
The funds will support active military members and their families as well.
Programs will soon be able to apply for part of the grant. In order to be eligible, programs have to show that they use evidence-based practices, train staff members to understand the military and connect clients to other mental health services upon discharge.
Priority will be given to locations within 50 miles of a military base.
