KP Announces $6 Million in New Grants to Focus on Mental and Behavioral Health Services
Kaiser Permanente Southern California announced a $6 million, five-year Community Mental Health and Wellness Initiative with an immediate Local Partnership Grant (LPG) grant allocation of $1.28 million to combat and improve access to mental health services. The initial grant allocation is funding a group of two-year grants to support 16 nonprofit community partners working to improve mental health and wellness in under-resourced Southern California communities.
“The prevalence of mental illness is significant and growing in Southern California and across the country,” said John Yamamoto, vice president, Community Health & Government Relations, Kaiser Foundation Hospitals/Health Plan. “For adults and youths affected by mental illness, the effects can be devastating, increasing their risk for serious medical conditions, diminished quality of life, and even suicide. These grants are designed to address the mental health needs within our most under-resourced communities by funding trusted nonprofit organizations that serve these areas and populations.”
In Kaiser Permanente’s continued efforts to improve mental health and wellness in the communities it serves, it once again identified mental and behavioral health as a top community health initiative.
The grants will award approximately $80,000 to each of the 16 nonprofit community partners to aid these organizations that are representing the clinical, social service, advocacy, public, and primary and secondary school sector in Kern, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and San Diego counties.
Some of the grantees supported by this funding have found unique ways to address mental health through a grassroots approach directly into at-risk communities.
An example can be seen through one of Kaiser Permanente’s mental health grant recipients, The Achievable Foundation. The Culver City-based organization launched the Whole Person Care Project, a two-year project geared toward improving the mental health and wellbeing of underserved community members – especially those experiencing intellectual, developmental disabilities, or other complex medical conditions.
"This grant represents a vital investment in The Achievable Foundation’s ability to deliver integrated behavioral health care in our health center setting,” said Carmen Ibarra, chief executive officer of The Achievable Foundation. “As we all know, when a service is more convenient to access, patients are more likely to take advantage of that service. We are grateful to Kaiser Permanente Southern California for investing in this project."
The project will provide an integrated mental health model within the organization’s Achievable Health Center – enabling more patients to receive mental health screenings, referrals and follow up plans that include mental health services while in the health center setting.
