New SAMHSA Grant for Behavioral Health Treatment Courts
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Centers for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) and Mental Health Services (CMHS) are accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2011 Grants to Develop and Expand Behavioral Health Treatment Court Collaboratives. This new grant program combines SAMHSA’s drug court and offender reentry treatment services programming and funding with its mental health diversion and systems transformation programming and funding. This represents a new approach for SAMHSA. By combining previous and current SAMHSA criminal justice–treatment linkage programs with infrastructure planning and development activities, the grant program hopes to create new court and community networks to transform the behavioral health system at the community level. The grant program is open to all criminal justice and family/child dependency courts, as well as reentry courts.To learn more about this opportunity, you are encouraged to participate in the free webinar hosted by SAMHSA on Tuesday, April 26, from 3 to 5 p.m. EDT.
