The partnership will invest more than $10 million over four years into behavioral health services at the clubs, according to a June 22 news release. 

The funding will be used to introduce trauma-informed practices to over 5,000 clubs by 2026 and train more than 48,000 staff members to support the mental wellbeing of 3.6 million children nationwide.

At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
