Crisis Prevention & Empowerment (CPE), a nonprofit dedicated to providing free and affordable mental health support throughout Southwest Florida, has received a $2,500 grant from the Zonta Foundation of Southwest Florida, the philanthropic arm of the Zonta Club of Fort Myers.<\/p>\n
The awarded funds will strengthen CPE\u2019s crisis intervention, wrap-around behavioral health case management, peer support, health education and referral services. With the support of CPE\u2019s services, individuals are empowered to transition from immediate crisis and limited access to care toward longer-term stability and connection.<\/p>\n
The Zonta Club of Fort Myers is a leading women\u2019s service organization in Southwest Florida that prioritizes empowering women and supporting their advancement through education, advocacy and community involvement. Each year, the Zonta Club distributes grants to 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations in Lee County through its Foundation, primarily to organizations that serve women and girls through education, economic self-sufficiency, safety and health.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re grateful for the Zonta\u2019s Club generous donation to further CPE\u2019s mission to provide accessible care and empower long-term mental wellness in our area,\u201d said Heather Cross, CEO of Crisis Prevention & Empowerment. \u201cWith this donation, we can continue to help women, girls and their families navigate behavioral health resources, maintain stability and reduce the risk of recurring crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n
