Indian Prairie School District, the fourth largest in Illinois serving over 26,000 students, is proud to announce its selection as a partner in Endeavor Health's 2024 Community Investment Fund (CIF). Indian Prairie has been awarded $1,250,666 to support mental health clinics in schools, aimed at expanding services to students and families and reducing the stigma around mental health support.
Indian Prairie Superintendent Dr. Adrian Talley expressed his gratitude for the partnership with Endeavor Health stating, “We are so grateful that Endeavor Health saw the benefit of our CARES Community Clinics to fund us again for the next two years. This program, which has removed barriers for our families in receiving needed mental health support, has been a godsend to some of our families and more importantly the children. Our children asked for this support, and I am happy we have been able to provide it to them. “
Endeavor Health selected Indian Prairie as one of 43 local organizations across the Chicagoland area to collaborate on programs focused on behavioral health, violence prevention, housing and food insecurity, access to care and workforce development. READ MORE HERE.
