SENATOR MARONEY HIGHLIGHTS LOCAL YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH GRANT
Today, State Senator James Maroney (D-Milford) highlighted an announced $35,360 in mental health support programming grant funding that will be used to support Milford youth and Milford Public Schools over the next two years.
“This funding will support our local students who may need mental health aid when they can’t access it during their summer vacation,” said Sen. Maroney. “I’m grateful to Governor Lamont and the Department of Education for recognizing that mental health is a year-round priority.”
The grant, awarded under the Connecticut State Department of Education’s Summer Mental Health Supports Grant program, will utilize American Rescue Plan Act funding and provide resources for mental health supports in school programs over the summer this year and in 2025.
This will allow the school district to provide students with the supports they need year-round, especially important as some may only be able to access mental health aid during the school year. |
