Fulton County and Fulton County Schools Announce Expansion of Partnership to Provide Counseling Services
Collaboration adds 20 new schools and 31 counselors to provide additional behavioral health counseling in response to COVID-19
The Fulton County Board of Commissioners and Fulton County Schools announced plans today to expand their partnership that provides a slate of behavioral health services to students and their families. The continuing collaboration increases the number of Fulton County Schools served by the County’s Department of Behavioral Health & Developmental Disabilities. Expanded services include school-based face-to-face and virtual therapy for students. 

The strengthened collaboration proactively addresses greater risks for children impacted by COVID-19. Based on information provided to the Department of Behavioral Health & Developmental Disabilities, schoolchildren are under greater stress because of their time away from their schools, isolation from peers, cancellations of end of year ceremonies and increasing reports of abuse suffered by some students. The partnership also focuses on reducing overwhelming stress levels that could lead to suicide attempts.
