Free virtual counseling offered to Iowans struggling with COVID-19 outbreak

Free virtual counseling is now offered to Iowans who are affected by the COVID-19 pandemic as a result of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) giving Iowa $1 million in funding.

The program, called "COVID Recovery Iowa," starts today. Counseling is available to people of all ages and will happen via virtual sessions, chat or phone call.
