Partnership to Improve Community Health Outcomes

Adolescent Health Education Initiative Children's Care Management Identity & Acceptance Program Health Services for Child Welfare Involved Children & Youth Partnership to Improve Community Health Outcomes School Based Mental Health Services School Response Teams Supportive Housing

The Foundling launched Partnership for Improving Community Health Outcomes (PICHO) in collaboration with Blue Cross Blue Shield in order to better support children and young adults covered by insurance who struggle with managing their behavioral health and overall health.

Managing and mitigating health concerns before the need for emergency intervention is crucial to providing higher quality health care at a lower cost to patients. Clients and families participating in PICHO are provided with evidence-based therapeutic service utilizing Functional Family Therapy – Behavioral Health. (FFT-BH). Therapy is provided in clients’ homes or communities and PICHO staff works to engage all family members. The program aims to reduce ER visits and emergency services use, and to support clients in managing their symptoms and mental health concerns in the community in a proactive way.

Success Stories

Nina, Grace, and Logan are a Family

When Nina opened her home as a foster parent to two siblings, she committed to making them feel safe, secure, and loved. The Foundling provided guidance, intensive therapy services, and more to support her and the children as they healed from past trauma and adjusted to a new environment.

Thanks to The Foundling's support, Nina, Grace, and Logan are now a thriving family – and with adoption paperwork finalized last year, they will have each other for a lifetime.  “They’re biological siblings, and it’s amazing that they get to be together – I think they feel blessed, and I also feel blessed,” says Nina.
