About this opportunity

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Mental Health Services is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2010 Mental Health Transformation Grants (MHTG). The purpose of this program is to foster adoption and implementation of permanent transformative changes in how public mental health services are organized, managed and delivered so that they are consumer-driven, recovery-oriented and supported through evidence-based and best practices. Funding will support States and local governments to create and/or expand treatment capacity within SAMHSA’s strategic initiatives. SAMHSA’s Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) was charged with responsibility to foster implementation of the recommendations laid out by the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health in their 2003 report Achieving the Promise: Transforming Mental Health Care in America. In addition, CMHS recognized that the foundation for transformative changes envisioned by the New Freedom Commission was strengthened by incorporation of the recommendations of two additional pivotal reports: Improving the Quality of Health Care for Mental and Substance-Use Conditions, published by the Institute of Medicine in 2005,and Mental Health: A Report of the Surgeon General, released in 1999. Under the Mental Health Transformation State Incentive Grants (MHT SIG), CMHS awarded grants to nine states to transform their mental health services to achieve the goals of the New Freedom Commission. 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 is available at the SAMHSA website: http://www.samhsa.gov/About/ In order to complement but not duplicate the efforts of other CMHS programs, FY 2010 funding for MHTG will focus on services for adults with or at-risk for serious mental illnesses. Applications responsive to this Request for Application must implement evidence-based or best practices that will create or expand capacity to address one or more of the five Strategic Initiatives as follows. 1. Prevent mental illness through early interventions for adults with early signs of mental illness or who are at risk, and promote wellness through holistic treatment approaches. Services may include a variety of practices related to early intervention or wellness promotion, including psycho-education for consumers and family members, and peer wellness coaching or smoking cessation programs. 2. Implement Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) as the framework for the practice/service chosen and implement trauma recovery support. Within the TIC framework, services are organized and delivered in a manner that meets the unique trauma-related needs of consumers/survivors, and safety, as identified by the service recipient, is the primary concern. The practice approach emphasizes the consumer empowerment and the consumer as driver of services, adopts universal precautions in asking about trauma, builds organizational capacity and knowledge of TIC through on-going training and policy review to ensure do no harm practices. 3. Create or expand the delivery of screening, treatment and support to active duty, guard and reserve members to recover from mental illness including trauma related disorders and to their families to build resilience and support recovery.
