Quote the text, not the summary. A Georgia House resolution recognizes January and August 2026 as Neurotherapy Month, highlighting biofeedback and neurofeedback as tools for mental, emotional, and neurological health. ### Plain-language summary This resolution does not change Georgia law. It is a formal statement from the House of Representatives recognizing January and August 2026 as Neurotherapy Month, honoring approaches like biofeedback, neurofeedback, and quantitative electroencephalography (a brain-wave measurement technique known as qEEG) as non-drug ways to support mental, emotional, and cognitive health. The resolution describes these methods as useful for conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, traumatic brain injury, sleep disorders, and epilepsy, and notes their use by veterans, children, athletes, and executives. It points to Georgia's clinics, licensed mental health professionals, and researchers working in this field, and says the practices may help underserved and rural communities with limited access to psychiatric care. The resolution directs the Clerk of the House to distribute copies to the public and press. ### What it does - Formally designates January and August 2026 as Neurotherapy Month in Georgia through a House resolution. - States the House's recognition of biofeedback, neurofeedback, and related psychophysiological methods as evidence-based, drug-free health approaches. - Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press. - Does not create any new program, funding, licensing requirement, or legal obligation for any Georgia agency or resident. ### Who it affects The resolution touches Georgians who use or provide neurotherapy services, including licensed mental health professionals, certified neurofeedback providers, academic researchers, veterans, children and adolescents, athletes, and residents of rural or underserved areas with limited access to traditional mental health care. ### Why it matters Because this is a commemorative resolution rather than a law, it does not change funding, licensing, or access to neurotherapy services in Georgia. Its practical effect is limited to raising public awareness and lending the House's formal recognition to the practice during the designated month. ### Key provisions - The resolving clause recognizes January and August 2026 as Neurotherapy Month in Georgia. - A series of whereas clauses describe neurotherapy modalities like biofeedback, neurofeedback, and qEEG and their claimed applications for conditions such as anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD. - The final clause directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to make copies available for public and press distribution. ## Status - Status: Passed (2026-01-27) - Last action: House Read and Adopted (2026-01-27) - Sponsors: Demetrius Douglas, Tanya Miller, Dar'shun Kendrick, Carolyn Hugley, Kimberly Alexander, Kim Schofield - Official page: https://www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/72416 > The history, votes, and amendments (131 characters) are at https://georgiacommons.org/bills/2025-2026/hr1067.md?full=1
