Child Mental Health Initiative (CMHI): The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Mental Health Services is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2009 for Cooperative Agreements for Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children and Their Families (CMHI). The purpose of this program is to support States, political subdivisions within States, the District of Columbia, Territories, Native American Tribes and tribal organizations, in developing integrated home and community-based services and supports for children and youth with serious emotional disturbances and their families by encouraging the development and expansion of effective and enduring systems of care. A "system of care" is an organizational philosophy and framework that involves collaboration across agencies, families, and youth for the purpose of improving access and expanding the array of coordinated community-based, culturally and linguistically competent services and supports for children and youth with a serious emotional disturbance and their families. Research has demonstrated that systems of care have a positive effect on the structure, organization, and availability of services for children and youth with serious mental health needs. An estimated 4.5 to 6.3 million children and youth in the United States suffer from a serious emotional disturbance and approximately 65% to 80% of these children and youth do not receive the specialty mental health services and supports they need. Grantees will be expected to develop, implement, expand and disseminate broad, innovative system changes which improve outcomes for children, youth and families and create long-term positive transformation of services and supports. Child Mental Health Initiative cooperative agreements are authorized under Section 561 of the Public Health Service Act, as amended. This announcement addresses Healthy People 2010 focus area 18 (Mental Health and Mental Disorders).

Additional Information on Eligibility
Eligibility for this program is statutorily limited to public entities such as: * State governments; * Indian or tribal organizations (as defined in Section 4[b] and Section 4[c] of the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act); * Governmental units within political subdivisions of a State, such as a county, city or town; * District of Columbia government; and * Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Northern Mariana Islands, Virgin Islands, American Samoa and Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands (now Palau, Micronesia and the Marshall Islands). If you have previously received a CMHI award, you must specify a geographic service area within the State, county, tribe or territory that is different from the geographic area of your current or past award (See Table 1, pages 20-21). An exception to this requirement will be made for States whose previous award(s) was to develop systems of care across the entire State. If your State had a previous CMHI award for a Statewide implementation approach, you may apply for funding under this announcement if your previous award(s) has expired, including all no-cost extension years. You must also demonstrate that the programs implemented under these previous awards have been sustained and that the population of focus you are now proposing is different from that in the previous award(s). In keeping with SAMHSA's commitment to providing opportunities to serve American Indian/Alaska Native communities, an exception will also be made for cities, counties, States or other public entities that received a previous CMHI award but whose new CMHI application focuses on American Indians and Alaska Native children and families living off reservations in urban centers who were not served by a previous award. Such a new cooperative agreement must be developed in partnership with an American Indian non-profit organization that is recognized by the Indian Health Service Urban Indian Health Program under Title V of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act, PL 94-437, as amended...
