Brattleboro is set to get a mental health urgent care center, according to reporting by VTDigger. The facility would give residents in southeastern Vermont a place to seek immediate psychiatric help, similar to a medical urgent care clinic. Details such as opening date, staffing and funding have not yet been laid out, but local officials and mental health advocates say the region has long lacked timely crisis services.

The University of Vermont and Middlebury College have both announced tuition discounts, according to Vermont news outlet VTDigger. The moves come as colleges in the state and nationally face pressure to hold down costs and reassure families worried about affordability. Details on the size of the discounts, eligibility and how long they will last have not been fully laid out, and no enrollment data or student reaction was included in the initial report.
