The
Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center
for Mental Health Services (CMHS) is
accepting applications for fiscal year
(FY) 2018 Project AWARE (Advancing
Wellness and Resilience in Education) -
State Education Agency (SEA) grants
(Short Title: AWARE-SEA).
SAMHSA expects that
this program will focus on partnerships
and collaboration between state and
local systems to promote the healthy
development of school-aged youth and
prevent youth violence. closing date 6/4/18
The purpose of this
program is to build or expand the
capacity of State Educational Agencies,
in partnership with State Mental Health
Agencies (SMHAs) overseeing school-aged
youth and local education agencies
(LEAS), to: (1) increase awareness of
mental health issues among school-aged
youth; (2) provide training for school
personnel and other adults who interact
with school-aged youth to detect and
respond to mental health issues; and (3)
connect school-aged youth, who may have
behavioral health issues (including
serious emotional disturbance [SED] or
serious mental illness [SMI]), and their
families to needed services.
The AWARE-SEA
program supports the development and
implementation of a comprehensive plan
of activities, services, and strategies
to decrease youth violence and support
the healthy development of school-aged
youth. This program builds upon the
successful strategies of the Safe
Schools/Healthy Students (SS/HS)
Initiative that have been effective in
creating safe and secure schools and
promoting the mental health of students
in communities across the country.
These strategies include facilitating a
closer relationship between state and
local implementation of policies and
programs, and supporting the development
of integrated systems that create safe
and respectful environments for learning
and promote the mental health of
school-aged youth.
