U.S. Department of Education -- Grants for the Integration of Schools and Mental Health Systems
The U.S. Department of Education Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools is accepting applications for its Grants for the Integration of Schools and Mental Health program. The purpose of the program is to improve mental health services for children by supporting the switch from a fragmented service-delivery model to a broad public health framework through programs that include all of the following: 1) collaborative efforts between school-based service systems and mental health service systems; 2) crisis intervention services, referrals, and on-going care; 3) training of school personnel and mental health professionals; 4) technical assistance and consultation to school systems and mental health agencies and families participating in the program; 5) linguistically appropriate and culturally competent services; and 6) program evaluation and sustainability.
Award amounts are $150,000-$350,000. Eligible applicants are state educational agencies, local educational agencies (LEAs), including charter schools that are considered LEAs under State law, and Indian tribes. Previous recipients of a Safe Schools/Healthy Students program grant are not eligible to apply.
Deadline: January 30, 2008
Please Note: The Center for Health and Health Care in Schools (CHHCS) does not administer this funding opportunity.
