From Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), September 25, 2023
Today, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), has announced $131.7 million awarded this month in grant programs that connect youth and families to behavioral health services. Tackling the nation’s ongoing mental health crisis, particularly among our youth, is a top priority of the Biden-Harris Administration and a key pillar in President Biden’s Unity Agenda for the nation.
“These grants enhance the overall health and wellness of children, youth and families. They address the full behavioral continuum by meeting people where they are to ensure they get the support and care that they need,” said Miriam E. Delphin-Rittmon, Ph.D., the HHS Assistant Secretary for Mental Health and Substance Use, and the leader of SAMHSA. “SAMHSA is committed to using its resources to support children, youth and their families to get the help they need to thrive.”
