Information
The HCA Healthcare Foundation and Girl Scouts of the USA (GSUSA) are continuing their partnership by launching locally tailored mental wellness initiatives in target markets across the country. As part of this commitment, the HCA Healthcare Foundation is providing grants to select Girl Scout councils—helping more girls build knowledge and skills around mental health and well-being, and understand how these issues affect both themselves and their communities. These activations aim to promote mental wellness and break down the stigma of mental illness by:
- Supporting younger Girl Scouts in building a foundational understanding of mental health and mental illness, identifying emptions and developing healthy coping strategies.
- Empowering older Girl Scouts with the tools to practice self-care, seek help and support others—while strengthening active listening skills and confidence in having courageous conversations.
With the HCA Healthcare Foundation’s support, we’re working toward the larger goal of destigmatizing mental illness, normalizing conversations around mental health and delivering workshops that are inclusive for girls of all backgrounds.
