Sussex Co. Health Coalition receives grant to target student mental health issues

GEORGETOWN, Del. –Mental health is slowly but surely becoming a less taboo issue in the U.S. The Sussex County Health Coalition is recognizing this by helping local students.

They’re now entering their second phase of providing mental health prevention and early intervention opportunities to students in the Indian River, Cape Henlopen, and Woodbridge school districts in Sussex County.
