 Improving mental health access and services for patients and communities 

Providence’s Well Being Trust has awarded its first round of behavioral health innovation and transformation grants totaling nearly $5 million. The funds will go toward increasing access and improving the mental health and well-being of patients.  

The projects funded by these grants are aligned with Providence’s Well Being Trust strategic priorities, which include expanding timely access, improving quality care and improving mental health and resilience in communities nationwide – especially for the poor and vulnerable and those most marginalized in society. 

“We’re focusing our efforts and resources on improving the mental health and well-being of communities within the Providence footprint of Alaska, California, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas and Washington, and these initiatives will help us test and spread ideas that can transform the health care system as a whole."

Arpan Waghray, MD, CEO, Providence's Well Being Trust

The new grant awards seek to address a range of mental health concerns, including decreasing mental health stigma among youth, reducing maternal mortality and rates of infants born with substance use-related conditions, increasing access to mental health services for gender diverse communities, and more.
