What Sparked One of the Biggest Investments in Kids’ Mental Health?

Families are desperate for mental health support for their kids, but the system keeps coming up short. Schools are overwhelmed, teachers are stretched thin, and too many children are left struggling without the help they need. Something has to change.
The Ballmer Institute for Children's Behavioral Health University of Oregon is making a major investment to tackle this crisis—focusing on schools, workforce development, and getting families the support they’ve been searching for. But what was the spark that made this a priority for Connie and Steve Ballmer? And will it be enough to create real change?
On this episode of the Black Beat Podcast, host John Washington sits down with Dr. Kate McLaughlin, Executive Director of the Ballmer Institute, and Ebony Sloan Clark, Behavioral Health Director Oregon Health Authority OHA, to break down the motivation behind this investment, why Oregon was chosen, and how it could reshape mental health access for kids and families.
💬 Will this investment make a lasting impact, or are we just putting a Band-Aid on a broken system? Drop your thoughts below! ⬇️
