We're so excited to announce that Collier Community Foundation has awarded us a $50,000 grant to our HUGS Children's Mental Health Program, which provides early intervention and a clinical continuum of care to children and teens living with mental illness, social-emotional difficulties, and developmental delays.

The grant has allowed us to hire a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) to provide short-term therapy to children and teens.

“So many of the children and teens we serve through our HUGS program face months-long delays in being able to start therapy for a wide range of reasons. Some need to jump through hurdles with their insurance approval process, while others need specialized therapy with limited providers in the area and long wait lists. By hiring an LCSW, NAMI Collier will be able to provide short-term therapy to bridge that gap, making sure children get the early interventions they need to promote long-term wellbeing,” explained Beth Hatch, CEO of NAMI Collier County.

Olivia Jean WINK News just published a timely investigation into the state of mental healthcare availability in Southwest Florida, and we're so thankful that our CEO, Beth Hatch, was able to contribute and shine a light on the needs of our community and the work that is being done to meet those needs.

We know firsthand that so many families are struggling to find the support their children and teens need. We see it every day in our HUGS Children's Mental Health program, which provides a no-cost and no-waitlist continuum of care to some of the most vulnerable families in our region.

Every day, we also see the tireless work that is being done by countless community partners to fill that gap. With continued investment and growing support networks, we can continue to inspire resilience and strengthen communities in our region.

We are so thankful to have received a $16,500 grant from Naples Woman's Club to benefit our HUGS Children's Mental Health Program 💙 💛

This grant allows us to continue providing early interventions for children living with mental illness, developmental delays, and social-emotional difficulties - especially those who come from low-income and vulnerable families. Support from the Naples Woman's Club means we can keep providing this clinical continuum of care at no cost and with no waitlist!

Do you have tickets or sponsorship for our annual Hope Shines event? This year we are so excited to have Lexi Thompson as our guest speaker at our Driving Change for Mental Health. She played exceptionally at the Grant Thorton Invitational at Tiburon this weekend- tickets are going fast - get yours now for when she returns to Naples in February! Lexi continues to drive change!! 💚

Tickets here:

Lexi Thompson unexpectedly stopped play, stepped off the course, and walked straight toward a young girl trembling behind the spectator barrier.
She knelt down, smiled gently, took the girl’s hand, and whispered a few words that left the child frozen in overwhelming emotion.
Then Lexi did something no one saw coming — a simple yet powerful act that made the entire golf course rise to its feet in thunderous applause, many wiping away tears.
It wasn’t a moment defined by trophies or titles, but by compassion — one of the most heart-touching scenes ever witnessed in the history of golf.
