About this opportunity

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Mental Health Services is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2014 for the Mental Health Transformation Grant Program: Transforming Lives through Supported Employment (Short Title: Supported Employment Program). The purpose of this program is to enhance state and community capacity to provide and expand evidence-based supported employment programs (such as the Individual Placement and Support model) to adults with serious mental illnesses including persons with co-occurring mental and substance use disorders. The expected outcome of the program is for states to have the necessary infrastructure in place to maintain and expand supported employment services throughout the state and increase the number of individuals with serious mental illness and co-occurring mental and substance use disorders who obtain and retain competitive employment. Grantees will establish a robust SE program in two communities within the state, secure sustainable funding for on-going community SE services, establish a permanent training program using in-person and virtual platforms, and collect and analyze program data. Research has shown that supported employment helps individuals achieve and sustain recovery. Supported employment occurs within the most integrated and competitive setting that enables individuals with disabilities to interact with non-disabled persons to the fullest extent possible. Integrated settings are those that provide individuals with disabilities opportunities to receive services in the community, like individuals without disabilities. The SE Program seeks to address behavioral health disparities among sexual/gender minorities by encouraging the implementation of strategies to decrease the differences in access, service use, and outcomes among the sexual/gender minority populations served (see Appendix G: Addressing Behavioral Health Disparities). The Supported Employment Program will focus on enhancing state and community capacity to provide evidence-based SE programs to adults with serious mental illnesses. Expanding opportunities for employment of persons with serious mental illness supports SAMHSA's four pillars of recovery: Community. With gainful employment as the target outcome, mental health consumers, their treatment providers, and their employers will develop mutual understanding and successful relationships. The Supported Employment Program will help people with mental illnesses discover paths of self-sufficiency and recovery rather than disability and dependence. Employment is both an outcome and a core component of recovery. SAMHSA’s Recovery Support Strategic Initiative (RSSI) emphasizes meaningful work and the ability to enhance skills through education in recovery from mental and substance use disorders and sets as its goal increasing gainful employment and educational opportunities, while decreasing legal and policy barriers, for individuals in recovery . Most people with serious mental illnesses want to work and yet too often find little support in traditional community mental health programs. With support, consumers can work in competitive jobs or start their own businesses and increase their work activity and earnings over time. Public and private-sector employers have become more engaged in disability employment. In 2010, on the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), President Obama called on the federal government to hire an additional 100,000 workers with disabilities by 2015 (Executive Order 13548). Last year, the Chamber of Commerce called on the private sector to increase the disability labor force by over 1 million workers by 2015.
