Mental Health Technology Transfer Center Cooperative Agreements (Short Title: MHTTC)
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS) is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2018 Mental Health Technology Transfer Center Cooperative Agreements (Short Title:
MHTTC).
The purpose of this program is to establish one MHTTC National Coordinating Center, ten (10) MHTTC Regional Centers, one MHTTC Tribal Affairs Center, and one MHTTC Hispanic and Latino Center to develop and maintain a collaborative network to support resource development and dissemination, training and technical assistance, and workforce development to the field and CMHS grant recipients.
It is expected that MHTTC Cooperative Agreements will coordinate and manage CMHS’s national efforts to ensure that high-quality, effective mental health disorder treatment and recovery support services, and evidence-based practices are available for all individuals with mental disorders including, in particular, those with serious mental illness.
Years of research and knowledge of evidence-based practices related to mental disorders show that well-designed prevention, treatment, and recovery support efforts are effective and can have multiple benefits for individuals with mental health disorders, including serious mental illness.
It is SAMHSA’s intent to ensure that the public has the resources it needs to be successful in treating these conditions.
The MHTTCs will work with organizations and treatment practitioners involved in the delivery of mental health services to strengthen their capacity to deliver effective, evidence-based practices to individuals, including the full continuum of services spanning mental illness prevention, treatment, and recovery support.
The goals of MHTTC are:
Accelerating the adoption and implementation of mental health related evidence-based practices across the nation.
Heightening the awareness, knowledge, and skills of the workforce that addresses the needs of individuals living with mental illness.
Fostering regional and national alliances among culturally diverse practitioners, researchers, policy makers, family members, and consumers of mental health services.
Ensuring the availability and delivery of publicly available, free of charge, training and technical assistance to the mental health field, including CMHS grant recipients.
