Description

This program’s purpose is to support training programs that enhance and expand paraprofessionals knowledge and expertise, and to increase the number of peer support specialists and other behavioral health-related paraprofessionals who work on integrated, interprofessional teams in providing services to families impacted by OUD and other SUD. A special focus is on supporting children and adolescents in high need and high demand areas who have experienced trauma and are at risk for mental health disorders. We will only accept applications from state-licensed mental health nonprofit or state-licensed mental health for-profit organizations. These organizations include, but are not limited to, entities licensed or certified by an authorized political subdivision or instrumentality of a state to provide training in behavioral health. These may include academic institutions, including universities, community colleges and technical schools, which must be accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency, as specified by the U.S. Department of Education. Domestic community-based organizations, public entities, tribes, and tribal organizations may apply for these funds, if otherwise eligible. Individuals are not eligible to apply.
