Announcement
GAH Launches in Kentucky
Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear and the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS) have just announced that Kentucky will join the Give an Hour™ initiative. Gov. Beshear and CHFS are asking Kentucky-licensed mental health professionals to volunteer an hour of free service each week for up to one year to returning troops and their families.

“It’s vital for our soldiers and their families to know they can and should seek help when needed,” said Gov. Beshear. “This program can make a difference and even save lives.” We thank Gov. Beshear for his understanding and commitment and are honored to be working with him on this effort.

An audio news release about the initiative can be found here, and a written press release here.
