Vice President Kamala Harris announced the Biden administration will allocate $285 million to provide mental health services to students at public schools in communities dealing with violent crime involving guns.
Ms. Harris made the announcement during her opening remarks at a “Roundtable Discussion on Gun Violence Prevention” at Eastway Middle School in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Jan. 11.
She said the money will pay to hire and train 14,000 counselors as well as providing a “safe place” for students to deal with the effects of gun-related crime in their communities.
She said that prior to taking the podium, she had spoken with students who had been impacted by some crime committed with a gun. She said the funding is to finance programs so students will at least feel safe in their schools.
“To provide a place where those who are trained to do this work can allow the students and the children to check in and heal,” Ms. Harris said.
