Florida Blue Foundation Invests $2.75 Million to Strengthen Mental Health Services and Workforce
Florida Blue Foundation is investing $2.75 million in eight community-based programs across Florida to expand access to mental health care and address the state’s growing provider shortage. The funding will help embed licensed therapists in rural and underserved hospitals, support workforce training initiatives for future mental health professionals, and provide resources to strengthen adolescent and senior well-being. These grants are part of the Foundation’s broader commitment to improving behavioral health outcomes and promoting holistic wellness in communities across Florida. Over the past six years, Florida Blue Foundation has awarded $22 million through 69 grants, helping create more equitable access to mental health services and advancing the state’s capacity to meet critical mental health needs.
