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 services and raise awareness about mental health issues within the community.

To implement this designation, the bill proposes the enactment of 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 mental health awareness and the vital role that counseling plays in supporting individuals and families.
