About this opportunity

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2010 Community Resilience and Recovery Initiative (CRRI) grants. The purpose of this place-based initiative is to improve behavioral health outcomes through enhanced coordination and evidence-based health promotion, illness recovery support services in communities affected by the recent economic downturn. Through coordinated services the CRRI will work in funded communities to: * Reduce depression and anxiety; * Reduce excessive * Reduce child maltreatment and family violence; * Enable communities to better identify and respond to suicide risk; * Build a sense of cohesiveness and connectedness; * Enable coordination across service systems and community organizations; and * Improve community resilience and reduce the impact of the economic downturn on behavioral health problems. The intent of the program is to help communities mobilize to better manage behavioral health issues despite budgetary cuts in existing services and to promote a sense of renewal and resilience. The CRRI will use a place-based strategy to implement multiple evidence-based interventions targeted to four levels in the community. It will direct resources towards preventing or intervening early in behavioral health problems. It aims to prevent a downward cycle that leads to chronic declines in community resilience and long term behavioral health issues and unemployment among its residents. The CRRI is intended to develop and evaluate a new approach to targeting communities that are in need of intensive behavioral health interventions due to the recent economic decline. The initiative is not designed to address communities that had extremely high unemployment before the most recent economic downturn. Instead, it is designed to intervene in previously stable communities where the economic downturn poses major barriers or challenges to preserving community-wide behavioral health. A large body of literature shows that economic downturns have negative effects on behavioral health. Americans reported heightened levels of stress and anxiety during the recent financial downturns . During times of recession and high unemployment mental health problems become more prevalent and are related to increases in binge drinking and adolescent substance abuse . This increased need places additional demands on providers as they experience budget cuts that result in forced reductions in services. Recessions also place great strain on families, as evidenced by increases in family violence during times of economic turmoil . SAMHSA has demonstrated that - prevention works, treatment is effective, and people recover from mental and substance use disorders. Behavioral health services improve health status and reduce health care and other costs to society. Continued improvement in the delivery and financing of prevention, treatment and recovery support services provides a cost effective opportunity to advance and protect the Nation’s health. To continue to improve the delivery and financing of prevention, treatment and recovery support services, SAMHSA has identified ten Strategic Initiatives to focus the Agency’s work on people and emerging opportunities. More information on these Initiatives is available at the SAMHSA website: http://www.samhsa.gov/About/ Grantees will be expected to implement a range of evidence based services in community settings including prevention interventions, short-term therapies for depression and anxiety, brief interventions and treatments for problematic alcohol interviewing, as well as medication-assisted treatments.
