The Rotary Clubs of Indian River County (IRC) donated $5,500 to benefit behavioral health care at Treasure Coast Community Health (TCCH).
The Rotary Clubs of IRC* hold an annual Oktoberfest Social to raise funds for polio eradication efforts. Rotary members across the globe have worked to eliminate polio for 35 years and contributed more than $2.1 billion in this time frame. Thanks to member efforts, 3 billion children in 122 countries are free from this paralyzing disease.
This year, the IRC clubs chose to support mental health in addition to polio immunization. Four behavioral health organizations, including TCCH, were presented and voted on by club presidents. TCCH was granted the funds based on their behavioral health case management abilities for those in need of support beyond counseling. These case managers act on a patient’s behalf, connecting them with multiple resources to ensure a better quality of life.
“We are so thankful for this gift. Behavioral health care is being realized as an important part of our overall wellbeing. It’s available to everyone at TCCH, whether you have a minor situation to work through or require more intensive treatment,” TCCH CEO Vicki Soulé said.
TCCH provides behavioral health services for children, families, and individuals focusing on total wellness. Our team of board certified psychiatrists, board certified mental health nurse practitioners, licensed mental health counselors, and licensed clinical social workers are here to help, whatever the need. In addition to case management, in-person and virtual appointments, in conjunction with outpatient therapy, are available. TCCH is committed to providing affordable behavioral health care and is one of a limited number of practices in Indian River County that accepts children covered by Medicaid insurance.
*The IRC Rotary clubs include Vero Beach Club, Orchid Island Club, Rotary Club of Sebastian, Sunrise Club and Oceanside Club. All clubs are accepting new members.
