Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2013 Statewide Family Network Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), designed to strengthen statewide, family-driven capacity for serving children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbances (SED) and supporting their families. The program focuses on building or expanding the infrastructure of family-controlled organizations so that states, territories, and tribes are better oriented to what families and youth actually need, and so that families are positioned as active partners in shaping how children and youth mental health services are planned, delivered, and improved.
At its core, the grant funds statewide family networks that can provide practical help to families raising a child with SED, including information, referrals, and peer or family support. A major goal is not only to help individual families navigate services, but also to create and strengthen formal mechanisms for family participation in state and local mental health planning and policy development. In other words, the program is meant to ensure that the mental health system is not just delivering services to families, but is being guided by families and youth in how those services are designed, prioritized, financed, and evaluated.
This opportunity builds on earlier CMHS work that helped establish a stronger child-and-family focus in mental health programs nationwide and helped grow family organizations in nearly every state. Even with that progress, SAMHSA notes that ongoing investment is needed to support self-sufficient and empowered statewide networks that can sustain meaningful involvement in systems-of-care efforts and in broader health care reform activities. The grant also reflects SAMHSA's larger emphasis on behavioral health as a fundamental part of overall health, with prevention and treatment shown to be effective and recovery achievable. By improving how prevention, treatment, and recovery supports are delivered and financed, SAMHSA frames these investments as a cost-effective way to improve health outcomes and reduce long-term societal costs.
Strategically, the program aligns with SAMHSA's Recovery Support Strategic Initiative, one of eight agency-wide Strategic Initiatives intended to improve lives and leverage emerging opportunities. The announcement also connects the program to national recovery-support work promoted through the Bringing Recovery Supports to Scale Technical Assistance Center Strategy (BRSS TACS). BRSS TACS is intended to help spread recovery concepts and practices across the country and to support the sharing of information among consumers, families, and youth, including information tied to health care reform under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. The grant authority is Section 520A of the Public Health Service Act (as amended), and it is linked to the Healthy People 2020 Mental Health and Mental Disorders topic area.
Funding details indicate SAMHSA expected to make about 30 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $2,540,000. The award ceiling is $60,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is health (CFDA 93.243, Projects of Regional and National Significance). The opportunity was posted January 9, 2013, with an application deadline of March 7, 2013 (archived April 6, 2013).
Eligibility is tightly defined. SAMHSA limits applicants to family-controlled, domestic public or private nonprofit organizations located in states, territories, and tribes, with a clear dedication and capacity to improve mental health services statewide. Applicants must submit a Certification of Eligibility and supporting documentation demonstrating they meet the program's requirements. To broaden geographic reach, SAMHSA plans to make only one award per state, territory, or tribe, and restricts eligibility to jurisdictions that do not already have a currently funded Statewide Family Network grant (with tribes eligible regardless of location as long as they do not already hold a currently funded grant). The overall intent behind these requirements is to strengthen family capacity to act as agents of transformation, ensuring care remains family-driven and youth-guided and that families can influence both the type and level of services provided to their children.
