GCBHS is Proud to be a United Way Partner

Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health Services (GCBHS) extends our sincere gratitude to the United Way of Greater Cincinnati for their continued partnership and generous support. Through their generous funding of $550,000, GCBHS is able to offer services for individuals who might otherwise go without care. 

The funding provided by the United Way is used by several GCBHS programs.

• Our school-based program offers mental health services to students whose families face insurance barriers. Due to the United Way financial support, we can cover costs and offer resources to students who might not have access to these much-needed services.

• Counseling services are subsidized for individuals who are not Mental Health Board funded or eligible for Medicaid. The United Way grant allows access to vital mental health services for people regardless of their funding eligibility.

• In our Employment division, United Way funding assists clients with resume writing, interviewing skills, job search assistance, intensive job coaching, and long term follow along support. It also helps them understand how employment can affect their benefits and helps them plan accordingly.

Says Penny Middaugh, GCBHS VP of Child & Family Services,  (pictured left) “These programs directly touch the lives of countless individuals and families in our community, helping people access mental health care, supporting students’ well-being in schools, and connecting individuals with the skills and opportunities they need for meaningful employment.”

Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health Services would like to thank the United Way for helping to ensure that these critical services remain available for those who need them most.
