Georgia’s mental health agency chief is stepping-down later this year. Gwen Skinner says she will leave her post at the helm of the Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities and Addictive Diseases in the fall. She’s had the job since 2004.
For her career, Skinner will be wrapping up three decades of work in Georgia’s juvenile justice, mental health and child welfare systems. In her current post however, Skinner has faced issues of under-funding and criticism from federal reports. Last August, Governor Sonny Perdue announced a sweeping re-organization of state social services.
