The Barbara McDowell Foundation awards CPR $25,000

December 18, 2024

CPR is pleased to announce it has received a $25,000 grant award from the Barbara McDowell Foundation and Public Interest Law Center.  CPR was selected by the Foundation, along with four additional grantees, who “are tackling critical issues affecting voting rights, family rights, immigration rights, disability rights, and environmental justice.”  The grant will support our work in Isaac A., by and through next friend, A.A., et al., v. Russel Carlson, et al., a class action lawsuit filed in January, 2024, on behalf of Medicaid-eligible children in Georgia who are being deprived of the mental health services they need to treat their conditions and to remain at home with their families.

We are grateful to have been selected for this award, and for the support it will provide as we continue to challenge the children’s mental health system in Georgia.
