To highlight its 40th anniversary, the Outer Banks Community Foundation announced in March 2023 that it would award a $40,000 special impact grant to address mental health and substance abuse issues on the Outer Banks.
Sound Minds is the name of the project that received the Outer Banks Community Foundation’s grant and subsequent funding from many generous sources.
In October 2023, Sound Minds began as a collaborative project between Interfaith Community Outreach, the Outer Banks Relief Foundation, and the Dare County Department of Health and Human Services.
Today, this program is housed at Interfaith Community Outreach. The Outer Banks Relief Foundation is honored to partner with ICO to help cover mental health costs for approved clients.
The Sound Minds program would not be possible without the participation of the many talented public and private mental health providers in our community and beyond.
Anyone in our community is welcome to apply. After you fill out the Interfaith Community Outreach online application, a screener will contact you. If you need help with this application, please contact Interfaith Community Outreach at 252-480-0070.
