The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) today launched a new program to support partnerships between schools and mental health service providers to reduce emotional and behavioral problems among children in low-income, refugee- and immigrant-dense communities. Caring Across Communities: Addressing Mental Health Needs of Diverse Children and Youth, is a three-year, $4.5 million national program that advances RWJF's efforts to meet the needs of vulnerable families who may not be served by traditional health and social services. The program will be led by Julia Graham Lear, Ph.D., director of the Center for Health & Health Care in Schools (CHHCS) at George Washington University's School of Public Health & Health Services.
