Bread Financial, Bob Woodruff Foundation Announce Multiyear Mission to Improve Mental Health Care for Children in Military Families
Bread Financial (NYSE: BFH) has announced a $3 million investment over three years in partnership with the Bob Woodruff Foundation to improve mental health care for children in military families. The initiative will focus on three key areas: providing direct clinical mental health care, training clinicians to better serve military-connected children, and implementing proven programs for wellness and social connection.
The investment addresses a critical need, as over 70% of Bob Woodruff Foundation's Got Your 6 Network partners reported families requiring mental health services, while only 13% of service providers could fully meet their community's needs. The partnership will leverage the Foundation's national network of local partners to support military communities.

L'iniziativa si concentrerà su tre aree chiave: fornire cure cliniche dirette per la salute mentale, formare i clinici per servire meglio i bambini collegati alle famiglie militari e implementare programmi comprovati per il benessere e la connessione sociale.
L'investimento risponde a un bisogno cruciale, dato che oltre il 70% dei partner della rete Got Your 6 della Bob Woodruff Foundation ha segnalato famiglie che necessitano di servizi di salute mentale, mentre solo il 13% dei fornitori di servizi è stato in grado di soddisfare pienamente le esigenze della propria comunità. La partnership sfrutterà la rete nazionale di partner locali della Fondazione per supportare le comunità militari.
