The initiative, spearheaded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, seeks to improve mental health and substance use care across the country, according to a Oct. 1 HHS news release.
The grants were distributed to 11 programs and ranged from $1 million to $15.4 million.
“These programs will improve equity and access to mental health and substance use care, as well as prevention and recovery services for people across the US,” Miriam Delphin-Rittmon, PhD, HHS assistant secretary for mental health and substance abuse, said in the release.
At the Becker's Fall Behavioral Health Summit, taking place November 4–5 in Chicago, behavioral health leaders and executives will explore strategies for expanding access to care, integrating services, addressing workforce challenges and leveraging innovation to improve outcomes across the behavioral health continuum.
