SAMHSA Grant Opportunity: CMHS Cooperative Agreements for National Consumer and Consumer Supporter Self-Help Technical Assistance Centers
Thanks to Kevin Fitts of the Oregon Mental Health Consumers Association for calling this SAMHSA funding announcement to our attention - "SAMHSA-CMHS is accepting applications for Fiscal Year 2003 cooperative agreements to support five National Consumer and Consumer Supporter Self-Help Technical Assistance (TA) Centers. The purpose of these technical assistance centers is to assist with the improvement of State and local level mental health service systems by providing consumers, as well as supporters, service providers, and the general public, with necessary skills to foster self-help/self-management approaches."
