Georgia serves an estimated 135,000 military-connected students through the state’s K-12 public education system and houses the fifth-largest military population in the nation. In response to this, the Georgia Department of Education announces a state resource to support military families.
The GADOE is expanding the Mental Health Awareness Training (MHAT) project– which provides mental health training at no cost to educators throughout the state – to include four new courses specific to supporting the wellbeing of military-connected students. According to officials, the courses will be made available through a partnership with the national Military Child Education Coalition (MCEC) and will provide high-quality professional learning at no cost to schools and districts throughout the state.
