The Beehive Alliance is a fully volunteer-based organization started in 2019 that is dedicated to creating a "buzz" around pediatric mental and behavioral health issues. We are committed to providing the resources necessary to families in our local and national community burdened by these issues so that no child is denied access to treatments that change lives.

Impact Statement
The Beehive Alliance is proud to announce a 2022 donation of $75,000!
Our donation will support a Primary Care Clinician pilot program created by the experts at the Nationwide Children's Behavioral Health Pavilion and On Our Sleeves. The goal of this program is to develop and provide resources that primary care clinicians can use to start important conversations and give valuable tools to families on how to support the mental health of their children. The program will create and give resources that facilitate the conversation and goal-setting between the clinician and the families. Additionally, they will conduct impact surveys to understand if the materials are being utilized and beneficial and receive feedback from clinicians and families on what resources could be helpful in the future.
What else did we do in 2022?
The Beehive was busy creating a buzz around pediatric and adolescent behavioral and mental health this year!

Hundreds of kindness kits were created for patients waiting for treatment at the Behavioral Health Pavilion. Kits include encouraging notes, fidget toys, and small activities to pass the time.

How did your generosity make a difference?
Because of your support, the Beehive Alliance was able to present a $10,000 Donation To the Behavioral Health Pavillion at Nation Wide Children's Hospital.
