"Children's Mental Health Initiative (CMHI)" is currently closed and not accepting applications.
Children's Mental Health Initiative (CMHI) is sponsored by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The purpose of the Children's Mental Health Initiative program is to provide comprehensive community mental health services to children, youth, and young adults, birth through age 21, with a serious emotional disturbance.
This may include efforts to identify and serve children at risk, and their families. This program is highly relevant as it addresses broad mental health needs in youth, which would encompass the impact of grief and bereavement.
