Guthrie Awards Grant to Support Area Families
Guthrie's Community Benefit Program awarded $7,500 to Supporting Area Families Everyday (SAFE) in support of its efforts to reduce the impact and long-term effects of parental separation on children by teaching parents how to manage conflict, build stability, and minimize truancy. Mental health was identified as one of the major health risks in Guthrie’s Community Health Needs Assessment and we are proud to support projects that promote mental health support.
SAFE aims to preserve the mental health of children and their caretakers by providing education and ending the immediate danger of domestic violence. They provide services around safe custody exchanges, supervised visitation, and parenting classes to the community.
This grant was awarded as part of Guthrie’s Community Benefit Grant Program, which funds projects based on Guthrie’s Community Health Needs Assessment. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), requires non-profit hospitals to complete a community needs assessment (CHNA) every three years. The following areas of need were identified for 2020-2023: obesity, access to mental health providers, and cancer incidence with a focus on tobacco usage.
