The Cigna Group Foundation has announced it is opening the second year of funding for its $9 million, three-year commitment to address the youth mental health crisis. This year, $3 million in grants will be distributed to nonprofit organizations focused on supporting youth aged 5-18 and those who care for them.
The grants aim to combat post-pandemic stress and distress among young people, with funding supporting parents, caregivers, educators, and therapists. The initiative prioritizes regions where The Cigna Group serves a significant number of customers with high social determinant of health risks, including Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas.
The goals of these grants include increasing the reach of programming that fosters social-emotional skills, equipping caregivers and professionals to provide support, and increasing pathways to mental health intervention and access to care. This commitment builds on the Foundation's long history of impactful partnerships in community health.
