Caring Across Communities, a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation initiative, will address the mental health needs of underserved children and youth by supporting school-connected mental health services for students who require them. Special emphasis will be given to projects that help children of immigrant and refugee families overcome the cultural and language barriers to mental health services.

Prospective grantees must represent partnerships among school districts and other appropriate community agencies. Partner organizations might include community mental health centers, multicultural service agencies, faith-based organizations, and/or other immigrant- or refugee- serving organizations with mental health expertise.

As the nation’s largest philanthropy devoted exclusively to improving the health and health care of all Americans, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation works with a diverse group of organizations and individuals to identify solutions and achieve comprehensive, meaningful and timely change.
