BP (NYSE:BP) Gives LA. $15 Million For Mental Health Counseling

BP (NYSE:BP) is giving Louisiana $15 million to the health department. It is meant to be used to provide mental services for those people effected by the worst oil spill disaster in U.S. history.

Governor Bobby Jindal's office said the money will be used to help pay for clinical visits, counseling, support services, outreach, and medications if needed. This was announced Monday at an event with the governor.

A minimum of $6.6 million will be distributed throughout Catholic Charities and other various non-governmental organizations. The rest of the money will be used to pay for state related services, and the regional human services district.

Jindal had originally asked BP for $28 million to pay for mental health services. These services would be distributed over a 13 month time frame in the regions affected by the massive oil spill.

  1. This amount must be utilized properly such that proper mental health can be taken by all the people. As most of the people are affected by the oil spilling.
