Our Impact 2022

Breaking Down Stigma

A primary driver for us at The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation is providing critical funding at critical times. To us, that means discovering a way to help someone when they are facing their darkest hour.

Today, Arizonans, Americans, and people across the globe are suffering. Mental health challenges are at an all-time high, particularly for our youth. Talk about a critical time…

In recent years, we’ve begun to prioritize supporting mental health programs not only with our dollars, but with our voices. We believe that breaking down stigma and changing the conversation about mental health is essential in addressing this crisis.

Follow along with us on a visual tour of stories told by a few of our 2022 partners who are working to change the conversation around mental health and more.

Youth & Their Struggles

Partner Spotlight Boys & Girls Club Of The Valley

Boys & Girls Club members face many barriers in accessing much-needed behavioral health services.

The first-of-its-kind Whole Child Approach Program brings behavioral health specialists into the Clubs to help alleviate social and emotional stress in youth by integrating therapeutic techniques into existing interactions with their peers, age-appropriate games, and other activities.

This pilot program was made possible by a collaboration between the Arizona Department of Education, The Bob & Renee Parsons Foundation, the Diane & Bruce Halle Foundation, and the Virginia G. Piper Charitable Trust.

Left Up Arrow
We keep hearing that the kids are not alright, particularly in the aftermath of the pandemic. We believe this program could change the face of mental health services for youth for the better.

Babies, Families, & Substance Use

Partner Spotlight Hushabye Nursery

Hushabye Nursery provides a therapeutic setting, short-term medical care, and social services for infants suffering from Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (a result of prenatal opioid exposure) and their families experiencing opioid use disorder.

Their model is not only compassionate and free of judgment but is proving to be more effective than current hospital standards earning them national recognition for best practice in the field.

Left Up Arrow
These precious babies should not have to suffer. Hushabye Nursery can help in the days after birth and set the stage for a bright future for both baby and family.

Veterans & Their Invisible Wounds

Partner Spotlight Semper Fi & America's Fund

Semper Fi & America’s Fund (The Fund) takes a holistic approach to healing our nation’s critically wounded, ill, and injured service members, veterans, and their families by providing tools to improve mind, body and spirit.

Offering everything from innovative cognitive performance interventions, to canine and equine programs, to targeted support for Post-Traumatic Stress–The Fund will be there.

It can be difficult to admit when you need help. But great organizations like The Fund can help you take back your life.
