HB 291 – CHW Certification: This bill, sponsored by Representative Darlene Taylor, would have established a statewide certification pathway for Community Health Workers (CHWs).

CHWs are essential to improving access to care and supporting communities across Georgia because they help people navigate the health care system and connect to essential services, including mental health. Despite broad support from health systems, community organizations, and CHWs, the bill stalled in the Senate for a third consecutive year.

Representative Taylor championed the bill in the House, successfully advancing it through the House in the past two legislative sessions. We are grateful for her leadership and will continue working with partners and lawmakers to advance a sustainable pathway for this workforce. We also thank Representatives Katie Dempsey , Sharon Cooper, Karen Mathiak, Lee Hawkins, and Karen Bennett for their support in sponsoring this legislation!

After more than a decade of visionary leadership, we celebrate the incredible legacy of Kim H. Jones as she announces her retirement as Executive Director of NAMI Georgia.

Through her dedication, NAMI Georgia has grown into a strong, statewide organization—expanding access to mental health resources, serving thousands each year, and helping lead the charge for meaningful policy change across Georgia.

We are deeply grateful for her leadership, passion, and unwavering commitment to the communities we serve. As we look ahead, we do so with a strong foundation—one she helped build.

Please join us in thanking Kim for her years of service and wishing her a well-deserved retirement!
