SAMHSA Opens $40 Million in Grants for Addiction Prevention and Behavioral Health Workforce
SAMHSA announced eight grant programs totaling $40 million to fund addiction prevention, behavioral health workforce development, child trauma services, and suicide prevention efforts. The funding opportunities are now open for application by eligible providers and organizations. Awards will support expanding access to behavioral health services and building provider capacity in underserved areas. For Medicaid managed care organizations, these grants may strengthen network adequacy by increasing the supply of behavioral health providers and services in their markets.
Grant-funded provider capacity expansion and new behavioral health programs in MCO service areas may improve network adequacy, reduce waitlists, and support compliance with MHPAEA and access standards.
