The Fred Lang Foundation recently awarded Charlotte Behavioral Health Care with a $25,000 grant to be used for children, adolescents and family services. A portion of this year’s grant will be applied toward funding a new program at CBHC, called (CAST) Coping and Support Training. This is a group therapy curriculum to help kids who are targeted at school, often related to poor social skills and being outsiders. Broadly, these are kids who are having difficulty adjusting to being in school, not fitting in, and are at risk for suicide, bullying, depression, anxiety, and problems with anger.
