Among the most important components of NC Children's will be its robust behavioral health programs, including approximately 100 beds dedicated to mental health care. However, keeping care close to home whenever possible is our goal through our relationships in communities across the state.

An example of these types of relationships is the work of UNC School of Medicine through their Psychiatry Department, and its in-school tele-psychiatry program. The program got a big boost when Nantahala Health Foundation gave Graham County Schools a $100,000 investment grant to fund the expansion of mental health services for students and families.

The schools work in collaboration with IMPACTT-NC (Improving Adolescent Child health Through Telepsychiatry in NC), the UNC-Chapel Hill School of Medicine, and HIGHTS, this grant provides funding for telepsychiatry services, therapy, counseling, and medication management services for students and families in Graham, Clay, and Macon County Schools.

Grant investment funds from Nantahala Health Foundation will be used to support IMPACTT-NC in establishing tele-school-based behavioral health services, specifically psychiatry services in Graham, Clay, and Macon County Schools.

60 counties in North Carolina reported having no child psychiatrist available, including Graham County, underscoring the urgent need for expanded mental health resources in their community.

Thank you to the Nantahala Health Foundation!
