As we end the Juneteenth week, I am filled with gratitude that I get to learn and grow alongside colleagues like ECFC’s Racial Equity Workgroup Co-Chair Kellie Brown and our Chief of Equity and Strategy Keami Harris. Kellie’s words inspire me to recommit to using my personal role and ECFC’s work, to, in Kellie’s words, “critically examine our practices, ensuring they reflect values of inclusivity and shift power and opportunity to ensure true liberty and justice for ALL. “ I encourage to you read Kellie’s full reflection to add a little hope and light to your Friday. https://lnkd.in/eDyiap8D

Congratulations to ECFC member, Perigee Fund, for the launch of their first national request for proposals focused on maternal, infant and early childhood mental health!
FUNDING OPPORTUNITY! Perigee Fund is thrilled to announce our first national RFP — Building Together: Equitable Systems for Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Mental Health — inspired by the urgent need of caregivers, infants, and toddlers across the United States to access #mentalhealth supports. >>Building Together will make $2 million in new funding available so that more places have more momentum to integrate maternal, infant, and early childhood mental health into family-serving systems. The grants will fund compelling state, territory, regional, or tribal partnerships that share Perigee’s goal of making mental health and relationship-based supports more accessible for diverse prenatal-to-age-3 families through systems change. It is designed to build on the progress already underway across the U.S. and U.S. Territories. Please help us amplify this opportunity by sharing with your networks! Key Dates: 6/27 Virtual information Session (optional) 7/26 Expressions of Interest due #maternalmentalhealth #infantmentalhealth #earlyrelationships #iecmh #buildingtogether #earlychildhood #earlyrelationalhealth #mentalhealth #maternalhealth #systemschange https://lnkd.in/dw9YX7U2
