Build Mentally Healthy Communities is intended to increase the
capacity of cities, counties, and tribal governments to provide prevention
and treatment services to meet emerging and urgent mental health needs of
communities. The program will help communities to build the service system
infrastructure necessary to address serious local or regional mental
health problems through prevention and treatment interventions having a
strong evidence base.
The two overall goals of the program are:
1) To develop mental health prevention and early intervention services
targeted to infants, toddlers, pre-school and school-aged children and
adolescents in both mental health and non-mental health settings (Group
I).
2) To improve mental health services delivery in non-mental health
settings, such as primary health care sites in the following two specific
areas (Group II): expansion of mental health services in non-mental health
settings to designated priority populations (homeless adults and families,
persons with co-occurring disorders, adults in the criminal justice
system/jail diversion, and youth in the juvenile justice system(Group IIA);
and reduction of disparities in access to mental health services in
non-mental health settings among racial/ethnic minorities (Group IIB).
