PRS, a behavioral health nonprofit serving Northern Virginia, announced Aug. 19 a partnership with Access Hope to increase access to mental health services, including to those who are uninsured or otherwise would not qualify for needed services. As part of the long‐term partnership, Access Hope has awarded a $210,000 grant to help PRS respond to the rise in mental health issues, with additional emphasis on diverse communities, a news release stated. The grant from Access Hope, a nonprofit working to eliminate barriers to mental health services in the D.C. metro region for underserved populations by building local partnerships, will enable PRS to add staff capacity and ensure more access to these existing PRS programs.
