EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) – It’s exciting news for programs that support mental health and emotional well-being across the borderland. The Paso del Norte Health Foundation (PdNHR) is accepting letters of intent. Organizations can outline their ideas for evidence-based programs for funding consideration. Applications are open now through April 7th. <\/p>\n
The PdNHF is looking for organizations whose programs align with one or more of the following priorities:<\/p>\n
Behavioral Health Consortium\u00a0\u2013 Supports programs that address gaps in mental health and substance use systems, with an emphasis on strengthening coordination among regional behavioral health consortium stakeholders as informed by data.<\/p>\n
