We're thrilled to share an exciting update: SB 373, our Licensure Portability Bill, has achieved a significant milestone by unanimously passing through the Georgia Senate. This remarkable feat marks a crucial step in our mission to enhance access to mental health care across the state.
SB 373 addresses the pressing issue of the shortage of mental health professionals in Georgia by simplifying licensure portability for MFTs. By streamlining this process, we aim to break down barriers and ensure individuals in need have timely access to the vital mental health services they deserve. The unanimous support from the Senate underscores the importance and urgency of this legislation. It reflects a shared commitment among lawmakers to prioritize mental health care and support the well-being of all Georgians.
Stay tuned for further updates as we navigate the legislative process in the House. With your continued support, we are confident that SB 373 will soon become a reality, bringing us one step closer to a future where mental health care is accessible to all who need it.
