Center for Mental Health Services
Confronting a crisis of unmet needs…
The Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) leads Federal efforts in expanding the availability of high-quality, community-based services for adults with serious mental illnesses and children with serious emotional disturbances. CMHS administers the Mental Health Services Block Grant Program—the single largest Federal contribution to improving mental health services systems across the country—as well as a portfolio of discretionary grant programs that include efforts to help prevent mental health problems. The Center collects, analyzes and disseminates national data on mental health services and supports SAMHSA’s National Mental Health Information Center , a one-stop source for free information, resources and referrals on an array of mental health topics.
