Bantz Fellow Receives Grant that Gives Local Schools Boost in Mental Health Resources
|
2018 Bantz Fellowship recipient, Dr. Barbara Pierce, was interviewed by WTHR-13 News about the new grant that she is leading. One in five Hoosier kids has a mental health issue. But access to help, Pierce said, is limited. To ensure kids going through a crisis or challenge get help right away, Dr. Pierce said it's key to get trained professionals in schools. And now, $5 million in grant funding is helping IU offer more kids access to that care.

2018 Bantz Fellowship recipient, Dr. Barbara Pierce, was interviewed by WTHR-13 News about the new grant that she is leading. One in five Hoosier kids has a mental health issue. But access to help, Pierce said, is limited. "Here in Indiana, we have a beautiful community health network of clinics across the state, but we don't have enough psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers to staff it, so we have people waiting for long periods of time to get mental health care," Dr. Pierce said. To ensure kids going through a crisis or challenge get help right away, Dr. Pierce said it's key to get trained professionals in schools. And now, $5 million in grant funding is helping IU offer more kids access to that care. That money will be used for 125 scholarships, according to Dr. Pierce, to help train mental health social workers and place them as school-based therapists as part of their schooling.
