Blue Shield Donates for Youth Mental Health
Blue Shield of California is making a $1 Million Donation to help expand youth mental health services across the state's school system
The money is part of Blue Shield's BlueSky initiative, a multi-year effort that builds on existing work with the Department of Education to train educators to recognize and address mental health concerns in young people. According to a 2019 UCLA research study, nearly half of California teens say they've recently struggled with mental health issues.
