KERRVILLE, Texas - Nearly $780,000 in donated funds was distributed to Kerrville, Hunt and Ingram independent school districts to support grief counseling and mental health services for teachers and students as part of a broader $1 million commitment to help the Hill Country community heal.

The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country previously committed $1 million in donations to mental health needs after a study by Meadows Mental Health Policy found that access to care was critical to the community's recovery.

During a meeting with reporters Monday, agencies and school officials outlined how the money has been used so far.
