Our Programs

BEHAVIORAL HEALTH GRANTS

We fund programs that measurably elevate the mental well-being of youth and children in Lancaster County.  We’re interested in supporting targeted workforce development for providers, and improving access to behavioral healthcare for youth and children (age birth to 26 years) in Lancaster County.

MENTAL HEALTH ACCESS ASSISTANCE

We offer Mental Health Copay Assistance to youth, children, and parents of dependent children (ages 0-25) who live in Lancaster County, Pa. and have financial need. This reduces their copays to just $10 per visit to a licensed behavioral healthcare provider.

MENTAL HEALTH CAREERS SCHOLARSHIPS

We offer scholarships to individuals who are pursuing a career in the mental health field. Students who are starting or continuing advanced degrees and certifications, and are passionate about youth and children’s mental health.

EDUCATION & TRAINING

We offer continuing education trainings related to children’s behavioral health for physicians, educators, other professionals, and caregivers. Most of these events are free and open to the public. CME credits are available for DOs.
