School-Based Mental Health Services Grant Program (Funding Opportunity)
Application deadline: April 30, 2024
This program provides competitive grants to State educational agencies (SEAs), local educational agencies (LEAs), and consortia of LEAs to increase the number of credentialed school-based mental health services providers providing mental health services to students in LEAs with demonstrated need. Funding is intended to:
-
Increase recruitment and retention-related activities and incentives, particularly in LEAs and SEAs that have not yet benefited from a SBMH grant
-
Promote the specialization and professional retraining of existing mental health services providers so that they have the credentials needed to provide school-based mental health services in LEAs with demonstrated need
-
Increase the diversity and cultural and linguistic competency of school-based mental health services providers, including competency in providing culturally sustaining and asset-based services
