Lurie Children’s Receives $100,000 from The MolinaCares Accord to Support Statewide School Mental Health Initiative
Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago’s Center for Childhood Resilience (“Lurie Children’s”) today announced a $100,000 investment from The MolinaCares Accord (“MolinaCares”), in collaboration with Molina Healthcare of Illinois (“Molina”), to support Resilience-Supportive Schools Illinois (RSSI), a statewide initiative that equips schools with data-driven tools and resources to improve student and educator mental health and well-being.
Led by Lurie Children’s and a coalition of statewide partners, RSSI provides free, voluntary support to schools across Illinois to help educators build supportive, trauma-responsive and healing centered learning environments. The initiative connects school teams with school-specific data, professional learning, and evidence-informed resources to strengthen student resilience and improve outcomes.
