PITTSBURGH — Point Park University’s Counseling Center in Pittsburgh has received a $50,000 grant from the Citrone 33 Foundation to expand its Let’s Talk: PPU Mental Wellness Initiative.
The grant will fund programming, professional services, staff development and facility upgrades at the Counseling Center, which serves a diverse student population including first-generation, low-income and LGBTQ+ students.
“We’re honored to have received this significant award from the Citrone 33 Foundation,” said Cassandra Moffat, PsyD, MA, Director of Counseling Services.
The initiative aligns with both the Foundation’s mission and the University’s strategic plan to build community resilience, reduce stigma, and promote lasting wellness.

The Let’s Talk: PPU Mental Wellness effort will be supported through cross-campus partnerships, peer-educator programs and future philanthropic opportunities.
The grant will allow Point Park University’s Counseling Center to expand its outreach and enhance the mental health services offered to students.
