Deadline: 15-Jul-22
The Blue & You Foundation for a Healthier Arkansas is seeking applications for its Investment in Behavioral Health Grant Program to improve the health of Arkansans.
Focus Areas
A series of grants will be provided to Arkansas organizations with a focus on three critical areas:
- Early intervention: addressing the unmet behavioral health needs of young people and families to build lifelong health, address the roots of behavioral conditions, and help prevent them from leading to other problems later in life.
- Workforce integration: helping train more behavioral health professionals who will learn here and serve here, working within the primary care environment, to improve on a shortage in which they currently meet only about one-third of their state’s need for mental health professionals.
- Normalizing care: improving access and reducing stigma by helping people understand behavioral health needs and removing barriers that stand between them and the care they need.
Eligibility Criteria
To be eligible, applicants must be a 501(c)(3) public charity, public school, governmental agency, nonprofit hospital or church in Arkansas. Applying organization must provide an Employer Identification Number (EIN).
