"The Behavioral Health Network of South Lake Tahoe has established a robust network of providers over the last two years, collectively addressing mental health, substance use and social service support needs of individuals and families," said Michael Ward, BHN Network Director. "This new funding award by the Katz Amsterdam Charitable Trust will enable the BHN to expand service capacity by hiring three new bilingual therapists at vital community service entry points, including Live Violence Free, Family Resource Center and Tahoe Youth and Family Services, as well as support the Lake Tahoe Unified School District in delivering school-based mental health services. The BHN and community are grateful for this investment by the Trust which will effectively increase access and positive outcomes for community members struggling with behavioral health issues."
