The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) announced The Community-Based Maternal BHS program which will improve access to evidence-based, timely, and culturally relevant maternal mental health and substance use (behavioral health) intervention and treatment by strengthening community referral pathways. Grant recipients will be expected to collaborate with pregnancy and postpartum healthcare organizations, refer individuals in need of behavioral health care to the appropriate entities, and provide short-term mental health and substance use services to individuals who cannot access care. The deadline to apply is Aug. 26, with an anticipated project start date in Nov. 2024.
