Health insurance provider Managed Health Services is using a $1.2 million investment to improve youth mental health resources across 28 Indiana counties. 

18 community organizations will benefit from the investment, distributed through MHS Serves; a partnership with Black Onyx Management and the Indiana Minority Health Coalition. 

The organization uses collaborative partnerships to address health inequities and the disparities caused by service gaps.

WISH-TV contributor Emil Ekiyor joined News 8 at 5 p.m. Thursday to talk about how efforts to expand access to mental health resources will not only benefit individual clients, but the community as a whole.
