The Cigna Foundation awards Integral Care funds in the amount of $119,920 to support additional annual clinical training for therapists working within Integral Care’s Child and Family Services Program – i.e. EMDR, DBT Certification. Integral Care aims to enhance its capacity to provide culturally competent mental health services for youth by offering specialized clinical training. Addressing these needs expands access to mental health services, enhances workforce development, and fosters partnerships to leverage expertise. Cigna’s funding is for one year and would support up to 90 annual training courses for staff. By investing in staff development, the program aims to address the mental health needs of approximately 1,800 young individuals, with 80% being students of color and 66% living in low-income households.
