The bill introduced by Senator Blackshear, along with several cosponsors, aims to designate the month of April as "Counseling Awareness Month" in the state of Ohio. This initiative seeks to recognize the importance of counseling and the contributions of counselors to the well-being of individuals and communities.

To implement this designation, the bill enacts a new section, 5.2322, in the Revised Code, which explicitly states that April is to be recognized as "Counseling Awareness Month." This addition highlights the state's commitment to promoting awareness and understanding of the counseling profession and its impact on mental health and personal development.
