Recruiting mental health professionals focusing on children and adolescents

Summary

The bill establishes a program that pays down the student loans of licensed mental‑health professionals who focus on children or adolescents, provided they work full‑time in West Virginia. Eligible providers must have an outstanding, eligible loan, be employed for twelve consecutive months each year they receive assistance, and continue making required loan payments. The goal is to lessen the loan burden and attract more clinicians to address a documented shortage.
