El Futuro is honored to receive a $450,000, three-year grant from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina to strengthen our Mentes Fuertes program in Orange County, with a focus on reaching parents of young children and connecting families to the services they need. Mentes Fuertes helps people manage stress, anxiety, and depression by building practical coping skills and strengthening emotional well-being. Through this initiative, we will expand access to this support for parents and caregivers while helping them navigate connections to additional community services. Out of just five grants awarded through this funding opportunity, El Futuro was selected to advance this work. We are grateful for @bluecrossnc confidence in our approach and its investment in expanding access to culturally responsive mental health support. A special thank-you to our primary partner on this award, Orange County Partnership for Young Children, for working alongside us to help make this initiative possible. Because supporting mental health also means helping people find the resources, connections, and care they need to thrive. #MentesFuertesComunicadesFuertes #MentalHealth #CommunityImpact
