JACKSON COUNTY KIDS NEED OUR HELP
Our Funded Partners Making an Impact on Jackson County Kids
As mental and behavioral health continues to be a growing concern in the local community, we’re proud of the critical work our funded partners are doing. It isn’t someone else’s problem. It is our responsibility to support kids, youth, and their families and build a healthy, thriving community. Since 2018, we’ve awarded more than $68 million to 195 programs across Jackson County. Learn more about our dedicated partners and their innovative programs below.
Why it matters
It's easy to think that kids are naturally resilient and not susceptible to the same issues as adults are. But childhood is where many of those adult issues begin.
Read more about the mental and behavioural health challenges kids in Jackson County have, and how our partners are meeting their needs.
