About this opportunity

The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2014 Now is the Time Project AWARE (Advancing Wellness and Resilience in Education) State Educational Agency Program (NITT-AWARE-SEA) cooperative agreements. The purpose of the NITT-AWARE-SEA Cooperative Agreement program is to build and expand the capacity of State Educational Agencies to increase awareness of mental health issues among school-aged youth, provide training for school personnel and other adults who interact with school-aged youth to detect and respond to mental health issues in children and young adults, and connect families who may have behavioral health issues with appropriate services. The intent of NITT-AWARE-SEA is to develop a integrated program for advancing wellness and resilience in educational settings for school-aged youth. The President’s Plan can be found at: http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/docs/wh_now_is_the_time_full.pdf.The NITT-AWARE-SEA program supports the development and implementation of a comprehensive plan of strategies to decrease youth violence and promote the healthy development of children and youth. This program builds upon the successful strategies of the Safe Schools/Healthy Students (SS/HS) Initiative that, for over a decade, have proven to be successful in creating safe and secure schools and promoting the mental health of students in communities across the country. These strategies include facilitating a closer relationship between state policy and local implementation of policies and programs and supporting the development and coordination of integrated systems that create safe and respectful environments for learning and promote the behavioral health of school-aged children and youth. This approach to early identification, referral and systems development both in the school and community will allow SEAs to made strides in significantly advancing the mental health of the Nation’s most valuable asset, its children. The intent of the NITT-AWARE-SEA grant is to build cross system capacity to effectively utilize the growing body of knowledge learned from prevention and implementation science for the purpose of supporting expanded adoption of similar approaches in states.America’s schools should be safe and secure settings where school-aged children can focus on learning and develop their full potentials, thereby helping them stay on a positive trajectory that will support academic success and help them to graduate and become productive citizens. As a nation we need to continually ensure that schools can be safe and healthy environments where our children and youth can learn and develop. Schools play a critical role in ensuring that behavioral problems are identified early so that young people can grow and thrive in a healthy environment. Schools can lead coordination efforts in bringing youth-serving agencies together to guarantee that families can easily access services that are community based, child centered, family focused, and culturally and linguistically competent. Left untreated, childhood mental and emotional disorders can lead to poor outcomes in school, limited employment opportunities, and other negative economic impacts in adulthood.Education about mental health includes an understanding about the importance of mental health; the relationship between mental health and improved overall health; precipitating symptoms of mental distress; the prevention of mental and substance use disorders; and how communities and schools can support our nation’s youth by getting them the help they need. As more people and particularly youth experience mental distress, there is a need for increased mental health literacy and basic mental health training programs for the public and those working with youth.
