TO EXPRESS SUPPORT FOR ARKANSAS'S PARTICIPATION IN THE CRISIS RECOVERY SUPPORT NETWORK COORDINATED BY THE SOUTHERN REGIONAL EDUCATION BOARD.

This House Resolution expresses the Arkansas House of Representatives' support for Arkansas's participation in the Southern Regional Education Board's Crisis Recovery Support Network. It directly affects Arkansas public schools and institutions of higher education by endorsing a coordinated effort to provide long-term mental health support after crises like natural disasters or school shootings. The resolution supports deploying trained counselors to schools in need, covering their travel and training costs through the network. It recognizes that sustained counseling is essential for student and staff recovery, especially in rural areas with limited resources. The resolution does not create new laws but formally endorses the network's role in improving crisis recovery capacity.
