Supporting Mental Health Providers Strengthens Us All
“Building Hope – you literally are the best. I don’t know if I would be anywhere close to where I am, career wise if it were not for you and the support you have given me the last 5 years. So appreciative and grateful of you ”
Our mental health provider community is a truly special group of people. They are passionate individuals who have dedicated their lives to being a helping hand to the Summit County community. From therapists to psychiatrists to case managers, Building Hope would not be able to do what we do without their support. To achieve our goal of fostering a more comprehensive and accessible mental health system, it is crucial that we support our mental health providers, enabling them to continue offering support to our community.
Programs that Directly Benefit Providers
Building Hope is proud to offer several programs that directly benefit our providers. Our Insurance Support program offers providers up to $1,000 per year to take advantage of insurance credentialing, consultation, billing, and rate negotiation support services.
These services make the complicated world of insurance a little easier on providers, meaning they can more easily accept the insurance our community members are covered under and offer care to a wider population.
Additionally, a provider’s education does not stop at the institutional level, and they are always eager to learn more post-grad. Our Mini Grant program offers $2,000 per year to providers who are looking to expand their skillset. This program offers funding to attend trainings, conferences, and more.
Building Hope also offers funding for state-required supervision for pre-licensed clinicians, support groups, and the pursuit of bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral-level degrees in the behavioral health field.
A well-supported provider community means that Summit County has accessibility to highly trained and qualified mental health clinicians. When we support our providers, we all win, and we begin to actualize our vision of a more coordinated, effective, responsive, and accessible mental health system for everyone in Summit County.
In 2024, Building Hope provided $68,250 in tuition, supervision, and intern stipends and supported 14 Providers through billing and credentialing services.
We are grateful for your support to continue our impact on the community.
