Learn about the impact that The Beehive Alliance has on pediatric mental health . 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. Access our condensed impact summary and membership breakdown 2023 Impact Statement With your support, The Beehive Alliance raised $150,000 for Children's mental health. This year we split out donation between The Nationwide Children's Behavioral Health Pavilion and their national On Our Sleeves program. $100,000 - The Behavioral Health Mobile Response Unit: The Psychiatric Crisis Department (PCD) has been a crucial place for families to go when their children have had a mental health crisis. From the time the PCD opened in 2020 to the first part of 2022, the PCD volume increased by 44%. Families are already calling when they are in crisis and in some cases, an in-person response can provide the help needed to stabilize the crisis and help a family avoid presenting to the PCD, reserving resources for the patients who are most likely to need hospitalization. One initiative Nationwide Children’s has embarked on is establishing the Mobile Response and Stabilization Service (MRSS). This program includes screening and triage via a crisis line; then provides a mobile response and de-escalation services including interventions; and finally, establishes an individualized stabilization plan. The overall goals for MRSS is to build skills, achieve family goals, counsel on crisis prevention techniques and environmental safety, and avoid psychiatric admission. Our donation allows for additional staff trained in de-escalation techniques as well as additional transportation resources. $50,000 - On Our Sleeves Mental Wellness Teacher Kits Subscription Boxes: This program is currently in the pilot phase and is being utilized by 500 classrooms across the U.S. The Mental Wellness Teacher Kits are provided to classrooms every month with various topics to help educate teachers on children’s mental health and teach everyday mental health and wellness skills. Each kit contains a guide for teachers on each month’s mental wellness topic and its relation to the school year; a student activity, including supplements to ensure activity success; Parent Tips to send to parents to continue mental wellness strategies beyond the classroom, and a teacher appreciation gift. Each kit also includes a QR code for teachers to scan and provide feedback on that month’s kit, to share what’s working and what could be improved, and to help guide future versions of the kits. The target population for these kits is first through fifth-grade teachers, their students, and the students’ parents or caregivers. Their goal is to reach children in a space that’s familiar and comfortable to them, that encourages them to be open and share their feelings, and provides them the tools they need to understand their feelings, and what they can do to improve their mental health and cope with challenges they may experience. The gift from the Beehive Alliance will send a year-long subscription to 100 classrooms. What else did we do in 2023?

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.
