Kaiser Permanente Invests $10 Million To Expand Youth Mental Health Peer Support

Kaiser Permanente committed $10 million to expand the work of the Youth Mental Health Corps, an initiative that supports adolescents by connecting them with young adult peers who provide mental health and navigation support. The goal of the grant is to increase access to mental health support for an additional 200,000 youth nationwide.

As part of this investment in the organization, Kaiser Permanente will join founding organizations Schultz Family Foundation and Pinterest as a strategic leader and national partner in advancing the Youth Mental Health Corps.

The Youth Mental Health Corps increases access, strengthens connections, and complements clinical care . . .
