2012 Campaign for Social Inclusion Awards Now Available

 

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)
is pleased to announce the availability of the 2012 Campaign for Social
Inclusion Awards, formerly the Campaign for Mental Health Recovery State
Awards, which fund selected statewide peer-run/recovery community
organizations across the United States to promote social inclusion on
State and local levels and to counter the negative perceptions,
attitudes, and beliefs associated with mental health and/or substance
use conditions. 

 

This year, SAMHSA will award six $20,000 grants for statewide and
community-based efforts that promote and expand the "What a Difference a
Friend Makes" campaign (http://www.whatadifference.samhsa.gov
<http://www.whatadifference.samhsa.gov/> ). Proposed activities must
target 18- to 25-year-olds and provide a detailed plan to increase
awareness of behavioral health issues and of mental health and
addictions recovery among young adults-in particular those who have
experienced trauma. Proposals are also encouraged that address young
adults from diverse populations including Hispanic/Latino,
African-American, Asian-American/Pacific Islander, and American Indian
populations.  

 

These awards support four of SAMHSA's eight Strategic Initiatives:
Prevention of Substance Abuse and Mental Illness, Public Awareness and
Support, Trauma and Justice, and Recovery Support.

 

The application period for the 2012 Campaign for Social Inclusion Awards
for    

 Statewide Peer-Run/Recovery Community Organization Projects opens May
4, 2012,     and the deadline for submitting applications is 5:00 p.m.
eastern time on June 4, 2012.
