Description

The purpose of this program is to provide resources to enhance the capacity of statewide mental health family-controlled organizations to engage with family members/primary caregivers who are raising children, youth, and young adults with serious emotional disturbance (SED). Grant recipients are expected to be family-driven, trauma-informed, culturally relevant, holistic, and resiliency-oriented family-controlled organizations. SAMHSA expects this program to serve as a catalyst for transforming mental health and related systems in states by strengthening coalitions led by family organizations, and between family members, policy makers, and service providers.
