County: All Counties
Type of Grant: Grant
Deadline: 04/08/2024
Size of the Grant: $500,000 to $1 million
Grant Duration: 4 Years
Details:
The purpose of this program is to provide trauma-informed, evidence-based interventions to youth and young adults (up to 25 years of age) who are at clinical high risk for psychosis. Recipients are expected to use evidence-based interventions to:
- improve symptomatic and behavioral functioning;
- enable youth and young adults to resume age-appropriate social, academic, and/or vocational activities;
- delay or prevent the onset of psychosis; and
- minimize the duration of untreated psychosis for those who develop psychotic symptoms.
Allowable Activities
Allowable activities are not required. Applicants may propose to use funds for the following activities:
- Co-locate CHR-P services with existing FEP services (e.g., the Coordinated Specialty Care programs supported through SAMHSA’s Community Mental Health Services Block Grant 10% set-aside for evidence-based treatments for early serious mental illness).
- Engage in universal screening procedures for CHR-P in settings that serve youth/young adults (e.g., schools, emergency departments, juvenile justice agencies, primary care) to identify youth/young adults who may be at clinical high risk for psychosis.
- Use validated brief screening tools that precede the SIPS assessment (e.g., Prodromal Questionnaire-Brief4 [PQ-B; Loewy, 2005], the Prime Screen 5 [Miller, 2004])
- Collaborate with child and young adult serving agencies (e.g., substance use, child welfare, criminal and juvenile justice, primary care, education, housing, welfare) to build bridges between partners.
- Implement and provide training on the Behavioral Health Guide for Implementing the National CLAS Standards to service providers to increase awareness and acknowledgment of differences in language, age, culture, racial and ethnic disparities, socio-economic status, religious beliefs, sexual orientation and gender identity, and life experiences in order to improve the inclusiveness of the service delivery environment and ultimately improve behavioral health outcomes.
