According to Resources to Recover, approximately 4.8 million adults in SC suffer with a mental illness.

There has been significant progress in the development of TeleHealth and treatment of Mental Health in SC over the past several years. Since the onset of COVID-19, those two sectors have overlapped, resulting in great benefits for patients. As Chair of the House Ways and Means Healthcare subcommittee, I'm extremely proud of these accomplishments.

SC is one of four states to have a Dementia Coordinator, which uses federal dollars for dementia, Alzheimer’s, and other mental disabilities, in addition to funding counselors at our public schools.

If you or someone you know is suffering from any sort of mental illness, you {or they} are not alone. Please reach out and use the resources available.
