To acknowledge September being National Childhood

To acknowledge September being National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, this Foundation Fact Friday highlights how obesity is affecting children within Collier County. Our Healthcare Initiative partners are working diligently to provide preventative care for at-risk pediatric patients to avoid such health conditions as obesity. While there is no simple solution to ending childhood obesity, coming together as a community is crucial to support programs that encourage nutrition education, physical exercise and other healthy choices for children.

Today marks World Suicide Prevention Day. While the pandemic has intensified the youth mental health crisis, NCEF continues to support mental and behavioral health care for at-risk children. This Foundation Fact Friday highlights the preventative work NCEF’s Mental Health Initiative has completed since its inception in 2012. Identifying the need to shift the provision of mental health services to an integrated primary care model has allowed for over 3,000 children to receive mental health screenings during their pediatric well visits annually. Screening for mental health disorders (which can be associated with increased risk for suicide) can lead to early diagnosis and effective treatment, both vital factors in suicide prevention.
