SAMHSA Center for Mental Health Services has made funds available to establish, develop, and maintain a Technical Assistance Center (TA Center) for Mental Health Promotion and Youth Violence Prevention.  The TA Center will support the federally funded Safe Schools/Healthy Students (SS/HS), Youth Violence Prevention (YVP), and Targeted Capacity Expansion: Prevention and Early Intervention (TCE) grant programs. 

The Safe Schools/Healthy Students, Youth Violence Prevention, and Targeted Capacity Expansion grant programs provide funds to various entities to plan, implement, evaluate, and sustain programs to foster resilience, promote mental health, and prevent youth violence and mental and behavioral disorders.  The underlying theoretical principles of these programs are that people’s lives can be enhanced through effective interventions that foster well-being and resilience at the individual, family, and community levels.  Structurally, the programs share the common objective of bringing together representatives from many diverse stakeholder groups and seeking cooperation from an array of public health, mental health, education, justice, and social service systems, as well as families and youth, to work towards the mutual goals of promoting safety, well being, and healthy development.
     

Eligibility

Eligible applicants are domestic public and private non-profit entities, for example, community based organizations; public or private universities and colleges; community and faith based organizations; partnerships of multiple centers, programs and/or community service providers applying as a single center.
