Mental Health Professionals Say Georgia Care Needs More Improvement by Tracey McManus. The Augusta Chronicle. December 18, 2012.
While professionals noted improvements since the 2010 settlement between the Justic Department and the State of Georgia areas of concern remain. Among the areas of concern are funding, housing, transportation and children and adolescent services. At present the Department of Corrections is the largest provider of child mental care in the state, according to the Executive Director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness Georgia. Also noted was a shortage of 422 mental health professionals in the state.
