Dear Peer-Run/Recovery Community Organization: Please find a letter, located here, announcing the opportunity to apply for a subcontract award under SAMHSA’s Bringing Recovery Supports to Scale Technical Assistance Center Strategy (BRSS TACS) initiative. The BRSS TACS Peer-Run Organization/Recovery Community Organization Awards will support peer-run organizations/recovery community organizations to: (1) develop/adapt and disseminate information to promote best practices and emerging practices in peer-driven recovery support for people in recovery from mental health and/or substance use conditions; or (2) provide training and educational activities; or (3) plan/develop infrastructure to establish peer-delivered recovery supports. By supporting peer-run organizations/recovery community organizations in these activities, these subcontract awards will increase the capacity of peer providers and traditional treatment programs to adopt services designed, delivered, and promoted by people in recovery. All necessary information to apply for an award is included in the Request for Applications located here. We hope you will consider applying.
