The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration has awarded agreements totaling $146 million over six years to provide community mental health services to children with serious emotional disturbances. The grants will be used to provide a wide array of mental health and support services in an individualized yet coordinated way to meet the unique clinical and functional needs of each child and family. ”Experience has shown that children with serious emotional disturbances and their families benefit from an integrated approach to care and services,” said SAMHSA Acting Administrator Eric Broderick.
