Georgia COVID-19 Emotional Support Line
1-866-399-8938 BY TOWANNA HOGUE
Reports show an increase in the number of people testing positive in Georgia and across the United States, including deaths. The Georgia Department of Public Health recently reported over 707,750 confirmed cases of Georgia residents testing position for COVID-19 with 11,670 confirmed deaths and 47,950 confirmed hospitalizations. The 18-29 age group has the highest number of reported cases to date. The infectious disease has become a source of stress for many people. Fear, anxiety, and the feeling of isolation are on the rise for both adults and children. People are struggling mentally, emotionally, and financially during this pandemic. What should we do? How do we survive this? Who can we talk to? Jeanette David, Disaster Mental Health Coordinator of the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health & Developmental Disabilities, discussed the Georgia Recovery Project and the Emotional Support Line, a service that provides a listening ear for those of us who may need help during this pandemic. She wants everyone to know that we are not alone and help and support are available. What is the Georgia Recovery Project and why was it formed? The Georgia Recovery Project supports Georgians with mental health challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of the program is to provide nonclinical practical, and emotional support for people who have been adversely affected by COVID-19. It’s not therapy. We provide a listening ear to people who have been struggling with the effects of COVID-19. People can call the Georgia COVID-19 Emotional Support Line at 1-866-399-8938. The call could be about something as serious as losing a loved one or affected by being sick from the virus themselves, or from people who have lost their jobs, people who are separated from loved ones in a nursing home, or people who could not be beside a loved one while they were sick. The program is for anyone who has been impacted by the virus. We provide psychoeducation on stress management and referrals for basic needs, as well as a referral to a higher level of mental or behavioral healthcare to include mental health and substance abuse if that is warranted. But we do not provide therapy. Are the services provided by the Georgia Recovery Project income-based or free to all who are in need? It is free for everyone.
18 | E M P O W E R A T L A N T A M A G A Z I N E
We help to ease their anxiety or other types of emotions that the caller may be experiencing. How is the Georgia Recovery Project funded? The State of Georgia received a Presidential Disaster Declaration and was issued the FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) Crisis Counseling Program grant that provides supplemental mental health funding in the wake of a disaster. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration is also a partner in the grant with us. What role does the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) have with the Georgia Recovery Project? SAMHSA provides the administrative direction of the program. SAMHSA ensures that we do not provide case management and therapy and abide very closely by the model they wrote. Does the Georgia Recovery Project provide services statewide, or is it only available in certain areas? It is statewide. We are available in all 159 counties. We are there for people no matter where they are in the state, no matter their income.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, are you seeing an increase in people suffering from anxiety and depression? The program provides crisis counselors and a liaison in each DBHDD region. We talk to educators, healthcare workers, or any adult who might need help coping with the COVID-19 pandemic. We provide a listening ear. We receive phone calls from people with a wide range of concerns, from losing their job, feeling isolated, people who need referrals related to getting food, or people who just want to talk about what they are going through. We don’t diagnose the callers with depression or personality disorders. Through the emotional support line, the counselors listen to what the callers have to say and try to provide them with a form of psychoeducation. One of the things we keep hearing about is just generalized anxiety. We provide information about stress management to the callers. We help to ease their anxiety or other types of emotions that the caller may be experiencing. If we receive a call from someone experiencing what we call an individual crisis where they might benefit from a higher level of behavioral health care, they may be transferred to the Georgia Crisis and Access Line.
WINTER 2021
So, the Georgia Crisis and Access Line provide more in-depth services? The Georgia Crisis and Access Line is a service through the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health & Developmental Disabilities. The services are accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week service at 800-715-4225, and staffed by licensed behavioral health professionals that provide crisis support to callers when needed.
What are the signs of stress, anxiety, and depression that parents, teachers, caregivers, and healthcare workers should look for? Signs of stress could include a hard time sleeping, loss of appetite, and loss of interest in things they are normally interested in doing. Lack of concentration. Children might fall into old habits. A young child may become more clingy to mom and dad. Children may not want to attend school outside of the home, maybe falling behind in their school work as well as numerous other behavioral changes. How do we help our children? It is important to have a routine as much as possible. One of the things that have happened is that their routine has definitely been disrupted. Some children may have returned to school, but some may still be at home attending school virtually. Make sure the household is sitting together at meals. The children should follow the same routine even if they are still in the house. Get up and brush their teeth, get dressed and grab backpacks before signing on for school. Provide reassurance. Caregivers can go to the Georgia Department of Public Health and the CDC website to receive facts about the virus. Both of their websites can help with reassurance, assist with anxiety, and teach everyone the proper way of wearing masks. Every parent can model change in a healthy way.
Are you all working with each school district to implement assistance or provide services and resources to counselors or other school administrators? If so, can you provide some examples? If not, is this a plan in the near future? We have six regional field offices that serve Georgia. I have been working directly with the Clayton County School District. We had a session with some of the parents about the Georgia Recovery Project and talked about self-care and stress management. We talked to some teachers about how to engage students using Zoom. We also provided them with links from YouTube and some videos to assist them after our session. What services are offered to healthcare workers who are constantly pouring into others but may need some additional help or support themselves? We have 14 healthcare coalitions around the state. Our regional staff has been in touch with the leadership of those healthcare coalitions. The healthcare coalition in Albany, Georgia, has one of the highest case and infection rates in the country. They needed help and invited our counselors of the crisis counseling program to speak to them. That is one example of how we think we are getting the word out to the healthcare community. We also partnered with the Georgia Department of Public Health and shared information with them statewide since the beginning about the COVID-19 emotional support.
For those who may feel all hope is lost. Are there suicide prevention resources available? If anyone feels like all hope is lost, I would suggest they call the COVID-19 Emotional Support Line. That’s what it’s there for. Again, the number is 866-3998938. Our crisis counselors will listen to a person’s concerns to determine what is causing them the most distress. Then focus on helping them to work through that problem. Hopefully, we can help the caller to find a bright spot. It is a form of stress management by helping them to prioritize what is going on in their lives. Sometimes people might have several different things going on in their head all at one time. We find ways to empower the caller to find a solution. Of course, callers are welcome to call back anytime. They don’t have to call just once. They can call as often as needed. Are you in need of volunteers or need additional help in supporting our communities? We have funding available through June 15th. Now that doesn’t mean that the problem will be gone by June 15th. Surely we know better than to think that. One of the focuses of the end of the program is that we have a team of counselors to provide crisis counseling to transition that program to the community and the local resources. There will be a formal process that takes place in April.
How does someone in need of help contact you? The Georgia COVID-19 Emotional Support Line is available every day between 8 am-11 pm at 1-866-399-8938. The Georgia Crisis & Access Line is available 24 hours a day and 7 days a week at 1-800-715-4225 or visit mygcal.com.

FINANCIAL FOCUS
Can You Influence Your Financial Aid Award? Right now, the pandemic is causing chaos and uncertainty for colleges and students. But it won’t always be that way. And if you have children who will be heading off to school in the next few years, you’re probably thinking about more typical concerns – such as expenses. How will you pay for the high costs of higher education?
•
Most colleges do offer financial aid packages that can greatly help with these expenses. But it pays to know, well in advance, how financial aid works. And the key platform for determining much of your child’s financial aid is the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). In fact, if you have children starting college next year, now is the time to get going on the FAFSA, which became available Oct. 1 for the 2021-22 award year. Filling out your FAFSA will provide you with what’s known as your Expected Family Contribution (EFC). The EFC calculation takes into account four separate areas: parent income, parent assets (excluding retirement funds, such as 401(k) plans and IRAs, home equity and small family businesses), student income and student assets. The EFC does not calculate the exact amount you must pay for college – rather, it’s an estimate, and the amount you pay can be below or above this number. Nonetheless, the EFC is important in determining your financial aid package, and your actions can influence the results. Here are a few suggestions for future years: •
Save money in your name – not your child’s. FAFSA will just consider up to 5.64 percent of a parent’s assets, compared to 20 percent of a student’s assets.
•
Be aware of how retirement plan contributions can affect aid. Many of your current assets, such as your retirement accounts, may be excluded from the EFC calculation. However, any voluntary contributions you make to your 401(k) or traditional IRA during the “base” year (the prior tax year) generally must be reported on the FAFSA and are counted as untaxed income; consequently, these contributions may have a similar effect on aid eligibility as taxable income. Mandatory contributions, such as those made by teachers to a state retirement system, are generally not reported on the FAFSA. Avoid withdrawals from your 401(k) or traditional IRA. The money you take out from these accounts in the years you fill out the FAFSA, and the prior tax year, may count as taxable income in the financial aid calculations. If you really need the money, you may want to consult with your financial professional for alternatives.
•
Consider having children put earnings into a Roth IRA. Money from after-school or summer jobs your children put in a Roth IRA may not be included in EFC – plus, your kids will get a head start on a tax-advantaged retirement account. Keep in mind, though, that Roth IRA withdrawals could be considered as taxable income on the FAFSA if the account owner is younger than 59 ½, which will be the case for your children, or the account is less than five years old.
Not all these suggestions will be appropriate for everyone, but they’re worth thinking about. You might also want to consult with a college’s financial aid officer before you complete the FAFSA, as aid calculations can be complex. An investment of your time and effort early in the process may pay off when the aid packages are finally delivered.
