Grants
Impact Grants
CalMHSA supports county behavioral health departments in administering Time-Limited Community Driven Prevention and Early Intervention grants, including fiscal and administrative support. These grants help local organizations provide mental health prevention services to their communities; improve linkage to housing, food, and employment services; and offer mental health resources to unserved and underserved groups.
Through the grants, behavioral health departments have an opportunity to innovate in mental health prevention and early intervention within their communities by selecting a grant focus that meets their county’s unique needs. The grants can also provide an equitable and holistic approach to assisting communities.
Previous grants have focused on the Mental Health Services Act outreach, prevention, stigma and discrimination reduction, and suicide prevention components. Awardees are required to include culturally and logistically appropriate outreach to target audiences, as well as a focus on community participation and long-term community impacts.
