Media Contact: SAMHSA Press Office, 240-276-2130
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), is accepting applications for cooperative agreements for Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children and Their Families. The purpose of the cooperative agreements is to develop and expand systems of care for children and youth with serious emotional disturbances and their families, pending the availability of fiscal year 2008 funds.
It is expected that $19 million will be available to fund up to 19 cooperative agreements. The agreements will support integrated home and community-based services and supports for children and youth with serious emotional disturbances and their families by encouraging the development and expansion of effective and enduring systems of care. A system of care for children's mental health is a network of community-based services and supports that are organized to meet the challenges of children and youth with serious mental health needs and their families.
