Rosalynn Carter: Georgia mental health cuts ‘unconscionable’
June 17th, 2008
By former First Lady Rosalynn Carter in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution:
I am shocked by the announced $8.4 million cut in funds for mental health services for children in the state of Georgia, particularly considering the current crisis that state mental health services face.
… The current budgets allocated for children’s mental health services clearly are not enough to provide for youth and their families in Georgia. Reducing these meager resources further is unconscionable and can only serve to exacerbate the problem.
