ACF: Mental Health Matters Grant

Overview

About

The Blue Cross Blue Shield of Arizona Foundation for Community & Health Advancement (the Foundation) partners with organizations that are transforming health in Arizona. We invest in programs and applied research that align with our four health focus areas, specifically:

* Chronic health conditions — working to reduce the impact of chronic health issues by expanding access to screenings, medication and medical care, and lifestyle management. 
* Health equity — addressing the social determinants of health in order to increase health equity and amplify every Arizonan’s chances of well-being.
* Mental health — expanding statewide resources, reducing stigma about mental health, and connecting people to care that promotes positive mental health and saves lives.
* Substance use disorder — investing in prevention, treatment, and recovery in order to reduce overdose-related deaths.
