Project Title: Children and Youth Mental Wellness Program
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
The Children and Youth Mental Wellness Program serves Palm Beach County (PBC) children\/youth 3-21 who cannot obtain care otherwise due to inability to afford. The need for affordable, easily accessible mental healthcare services remains high. In 2024, 240 children\/youth were served by this program; 92 aboard the Mobile Hope Clinic (MHC) and 148 in-office\/via telehealth. <\/p>\n
Quality mental wellness services help children\/youth suffering from trauma regulate their emotions, stop self-harming behaviors, suicidal ideation\/attempts, and prevents costly, additionally traumatic inpatient placement. <\/p>\n
For PBC\u2019s most in-need children\/youth, services are: <\/p>\n
\u2022\tFREE to those who qualify
\n\u2022\tprovided by qualified therapists experienced in child\/youth trauma
\n\u2022\toffered in English\/Spanish\/Creole
\n\u2022\tavailable without a waitlist
\n\u2022\teasily accessible through our \u2018avenues to care\u2019; in-office\/telehealth\/MHC<\/p>\n
Funding will support direct mental healthcare services to children\/youth (3-21) where services are easiest to access for the client; in-office\/telehealth\/MHC. The MHC continues to demonstrate great efficacy for expanding services to PBC\u2019s most in-need children\/youth. Operating on our highly successful \u2018community-partner model\u2019, the MHC serves children\/youth on-site at other local agencies where they already visit for other needs, thereby eliminating transportation barriers to come to us. The MHC currently provides services each week to children\/youth in the after school programs at 4 PBC Boys & Girls Clubs (Boca\/Delray\/West Palm\/Riviera Beach). The agency continually seeks new MHC community partners where we can serve more in-need children\/youth. <\/p>\n
Clients without insurance\/living below poverty level are offered 8-10 FREE sessions. Those that do not qualify for free sessions are offered extremely reduced rates based on a sliding scale starting at $45 per session. <\/p>\n
The $8,000 award from the Hermanowski Family Foundation for services in 2025 was deeply appreciated. We are hopeful the Hermanowski Family Foundation will consider supporting services again in 2026; the requested $10,000 will support 57 hours of free\/low-cost mental healthcare services to in need PBC children\/youth (3-21).<\/p>\n
