A $10,000 tele-mental health grant has been awarded to Hoosier Uplands for residents of Washington County seeking mental health services that may not have adequate insurance for mental health assistance.  The sessions will initially be open to first responders, healthcare providers and retail workers who have been working at essential businesses throughout this crisis.  Depending on utilization, we may be able to open up to other individuals in the community.
