About this opportunity

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Mental Health Services is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2011 Circles of Care for Mental Health Services for American Indian/Alaska Natives (AI/AN) Communities (Short Title: Circles of Care) grants. The purpose of this program is to provide tribal and urban Indian communities with tools and resources to plan and design a system of care to support mental health and wellness for children, youth and families. These grants will increase the capacity and effectiveness of mental health systems serving AI/AN communities. Circles of Care grantees will be equipped to reduce the gap between the need for mental health services and the availability and coordination of mental health services in AI/AN communities for young adults from birth through age 25 and their families. The Circles of Care grant program draws on the system of care philosophy and principles that are implemented in the SAMHSA Cooperative Agreements for the Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children and Their Families Program. For the purpose of the Circles of Care program, a system of care is defined as a coordinated network of community-based services and supports that are organized to meet the challenges of children and youth with mental health needs and their families. In a system of care model, families and youth work in partnership with public and private organizations to design mental health services and supports that are effective, that build on the strengths of individuals and that address each person's cultural and linguistic needs. A system of care helps children, youth and families function better at home, in school, in the community and throughout life. Community leaders and members work in partnership with child serving agency directors and staff members to formulate methods to reduce stigma, improve relationships between provider groups, address service capacity issues and increase cultural competence in the overall system. The Institute of Medicine Report, Preventing Behavioral Disorders Among Young People, (IOM Report, 2009) underscored the long-standing consensus that health promotion and prevention programs should be culturally sensitive. Additionally, the Report documented the importance of considering developmental processes, reinforcements of risk behavior, relevant contextual factors and a population’s unique risk profile when designing prevention programs. The IOM Report concludes that many factors may help prevent, delay and/or reduce the severity of mental health related conditions. and substance abuse can have a negative impact on the healthy development of children and their families. The Circles of Care Grant program design will be informed by the IOM Report framework for prevention and health promotion . This conceptual framework to address risk and protective factors for mental, emotional and behavioral (MEB) disorders includes four key features as the basis for prevention and promotion: 1. Age-related patterns of competence and disorder; 2. Multiple contexts, including culture and language; 3. Developmental tasks; and 4. Interactions among biological, psychological and social factors. These features allow child and adolescent development to be understood through the nested contexts of and the larger culture. This strategy incorporates an individual’s community and cultural/linguistic context and will support the development of community-driven models of systems of care. This program will address the impact of historical trauma on the well-being of AI/AN communities and will be integrated into the core principles of the program. This focus will also be reflected in the corresponding technical assistance services to be offered by SAMHSA to support this grant program.
