History
Lofty Goal
Mission
BeWellPBC, launched in 2019, is creating a movement and a mission to advance behavioral health and wellness in Palm Beach County. Our three focus areas: Stewardship Coordination & Alignment, Workforce Pipeline, and Community Solutions are united through BeWellPBC’s Lofty Goal.
We envision a community in which every person in Palm Beach County feels hopeful, supported, connected, and empowered.
BeWellPBC’s mission is to bring together stewards from every corner of our community—residents, system leaders, providers, businesses, faith-based organizations, youth, and parents—to lead the change they want to see in their families, their schools, their workplaces, and their cities.
For a Healthy Community
BeWellPBC invites the community to be at the table with providers and funders to make decisions for themselves – challenging the traditional way behavioral health systems have functioned in the past.
