The resolution expresses support for the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) Crisis Recovery Support Network, emphasizing the importance of long-term recovery efforts following natural disasters, school shootings, and public emergencies. It highlights the challenges faced by states, districts, and postsecondary institutions in providing sustained support for students, teachers, and counselors during the recovery phase, particularly in rural areas where resources are limited. The resolution underscores the need for external support to aid the entire school community, as counselors often deal with their own emotional toll while trying to assist students.

To address these challenges, the resolution calls for a coordinated, region-wide effort led by the SREB to enhance counseling capacity in schools that are in extreme need. This initiative aims to complement existing crisis management efforts by focusing on long-term healing and psychological resilience through the deployment of specially trained counselors. The SREB will collaborate with various stakeholders, including governors' offices and local education agencies, to ensure effective support and recovery for affected communities.
