House Joint Resolution 91, sponsored by Representative White, expresses support for the Crisis Recovery Network coordinated by the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) and acknowledges Tennessee's participation in this initiative. The resolution emphasizes the importance of prioritizing long-term recovery following natural disasters and public emergencies, recognizing that many schools and districts, particularly in rural areas, may lack the resources to provide sustained support for their communities during the recovery phase. It highlights the emotional toll on school counselors who are expected to assist students while dealing with their own challenges, underscoring the need for external support to aid the entire school community.

The resolution calls for a coordinated, region-wide effort to enhance counseling capacity in the aftermath of crises, advocating for the deployment of trained counselors to schools in need. It acknowledges the SREB's unique capability to mobilize education stakeholders and facilitate long-term healing and psychological resilience. By supporting this initiative, the resolution aims to ensure that students receive adequate support, which is crucial for their academic success and overall well-being in the wake of traumatic events.
