Adrian, MI – Outgoing Michigan State Representative Bronna Kahle has been named legislator of the year by the Michigan Association of School Social Workers.
The group celebrated her efforts to improve access to school counselors and mental health services for Michigan students.
The MASSW is dedicated to the advocacy and support of school social work services and the betterment of Michigan students, their mental health, quality of life, and futures.
Kahle introduced and advocated for legislation establishing the Student Mental Health Apprenticeship Retention and Training grant program.
The plan, signed into law earlier this year, encourages more professionals to stay in Michigan by offering tuition reimbursement to newly certified school counselors who accept positions in the district where they worked while earning their certifications.
