Provident Behavioral Health recently received a $40,000 grant from RGA Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Reinsurance Group of America, Incorporated (RGA), to support its Access Center in downtown St. Louis. This one-year grant will help Provident continue its mission of providing timely and accessible behavioral health services to individuals and families in need.

RGA has supported Provident’s work in the community for more than a decade, consistently advancing the organization’s efforts to offer affordable, impactful mental health care to underserved populations.

“Our Access Center is a lifeline for people who are experiencing behavioral health challenges and need to talk to someone right away,” said Julie McDowell, Vice President of Advancement at Provident Behavioral Health. “This grant demonstrates RGA’s continued commitment to our mission and confidence in our ability to build brighter futures through exceptional behavioral health services.”

Provident’s Access Center provides counseling for concerns such as trauma, depression, anxiety, thoughts of suicide, and relationship issues. Clients also gain access to Provident’s 24/7 crisis hotline, ensuring they have support whenever they need it. Appointments start at just $5, and services are available to children, adults, and older adults through in-person or telehealth appointments.

“RGA and RGA Foundation believe that mental health is a key component for a long and happy life,” said Matt Blakely, Vice President of Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability at RGA. “We are proud to partner with Provident Behavioral Health in their work to make mental health services more accessible to everyone in our community.”
