These grants will provide information, referrals, and support to families who have a child with a serious mental health need and create a mechanism for families to participate in state and local mental health services planning and policy development.
SAMHSA expects that grants of up to $60,000 each year for up to three years will be provided to up to 30 selected grantees. Grantees can receive an additional $10,000 per year for projects that include a youth leadership component. The actual award amounts may vary, depending on the availability of funds.
