"Mental Health Concerns in America's Schools: States Claim Education Department Failing to Enforce Grant Requirements A growing number of states are accusing the US Education Department of not following through on its orders to use federal grants for mental health services in K-12 schools. The department had allocated millions of dollars in funding for schools to provide counseling, therapy, and other mental health resources to students struggling with anxiety, depression, and other issues. However, states are now claiming that the department is not providing adequate oversight, leaving schools to navigate the complex process of accessing these funds on their own. As a result, many schools are missing out on critical resources to support the mental health needs of their students."
