BHcare receives $20K to support collaboration with PCRC

BHcare received a $20,000 grant from the SeaChange-Lodestar Fund for Nonprofit Collaboration to support its affiliation with the Lower Naugatuck Valley Parent Child Resource Center. 
The funding will be used to cover legal fees, accounting, and IT integration of the organizations. 

Together, the organizations create a comprehensive system of care for children, adolescents, teens and adults who are struggling with mental illness and/or addiction.  
Parents and children can now receive on-site services at the same time and families can find the support they need. PCRC clients aging out of children’s services will remain in the same care system, increasing outcomes and decreasing the likelihood of “falling through the cracks”. Shoreline families will have a local option for treatment, support, and care. 
A full service organization treating clients throughout their lifespan will ensure continual and continued access to the treatment and supports they need to live independently in the community.

The SeaChange-Lodestar Fund for Nonprofit Collaboration makes grants to encourage and support mergers, acquisitions, joint-ventures, and others types of formal, long-term collaboration between nonprofits.

PCRC provides children's behavioral health services for more than 1,200 children and families across 26 communities. 

This is a press release from BHcare, a regional community provider of behavioral health, addiction prevention, and domestic violence services for the Lower Naugatuck Valley, Greater New Haven, and Shoreline communities.
