Family Well-Being
The Foundation seeks to promote healthy development for families with children at the earliest and most formative years, utilizing strategies that are preventative in nature, strengthen and build healthy families, and are responsive to the needs of children and families. We do this in two primary ways:
-
Promoting Behavioral Health Services
Identifying and addressing the behavioral and mental health needs of pregnant women, mothers with new babies and families with young children. This work is focused on employing strategic systems-building strategies in a variety of settings including, but not limited to: schools, child care centers, health care providers and home visiting programs. Please see Information for Grantseekers before reaching out about funding opportunities.
-
Promoting School Readiness
Ensuring families with young children have an awareness of and access to services and resources that promote school readiness and healthy emotional development including, but not limited to, developmental screening and early childhood education opportunities. Please see Information for Grantseekers before reaching out about funding opportunities.
