AcruxKC Pioneers Legacy Grants for Behavioral Health: A Bold Step Towards Community Well-being
In an unwavering commitment to address the mental health crisis in our region, the AcruxKC Board of Directors has given the green light to the establishment of Legacy Grants for Behavioral Health. This invitation-only grant program is poised to make a significant impact by expanding access to licensed care providers, particularly in areas identified as mental health provider deserts.
The Vision Unveiled:
Behind the Legacy Grants for Behavioral Health stands the visionary initiative of an AcruxKC Board Member. Fueled by a dedication to tackle the mental health challenges facing our community, the program emerged following a comprehensive assessment of community needs. The stark reality of mental health provider deserts underscored the urgent need to broaden access to licensed care providers.
A Strong Partnership:
AcruxKC recognizes and appreciates the vital contributions of community partners in addressing the diverse health needs across our region. In a move that underscores the power of collaboration, we are thrilled to announce the extension of our partnership with Samuel U. Rodgers Health Center. Together, we aim to enhance behavioral health services in the 64124 zip code and its surrounding areas through the appointment of a licensed care coordinator.
Investing in Impact:
For the pilot year of this groundbreaking program, AcruxKC is proud to allocate $65,000 to Samuel U. Rodgers. This funding injection is a crucial component of the Legacy Grant for Behavioral Health-Expansion Grant, an initiative designed to address the mental health challenges faced by a wider spectrum of individuals. The goal is to establish a sustainable position for Samuel U. Rodgers, ensuring a lasting impact on behavioral health services.
A Call to Action:
AcruxKC is enthusiastic about the potential of the Legacy Grants for Behavioral Health program to bring about lasting change in our community's mental health landscape. This is not just a grant; it's a commitment to fostering collaborations and allocating resources to initiatives that significantly contribute to the well-being of those in need.
Stay tuned for updates as we embark on this transformative journey. Together, we can make a difference.
