Aetna Better Health of West Virginia, alongside Aetna parent company CVS Health, has donated $9.3 million to 10 behavioral health and social care providers across the state.
The 10 providers are a mix of residential and community-based programs, according to a Dec. 8 news release.
"Aetna's latest funding will primarily support local behavioral health services, such as in-home therapy and crisis intervention for children and families, with the goal of keeping kids at home and in their community," Todd White, CEO of Aetna Better Health of West Virginia, said in the release.
West Virginia has a "children with serious emotional disorder" waiver program that allows eligible youth with serious behavioral health needs to receive intensive care and support while remaining with their families and community. The supported programs help meet the waiver program's goals, according to the release.
