DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND

Substance Abuse and Mental Health

Services Administration (SAMHSA)

Cooperative Agreement With the

National Association of State Mental

Health Program Directors

AGENCY: Center for Mental Health

Services, SAMHSA, HHS.

ACTION: Cooperative agreement to

support a technical assistance center for

States in planning mental health

services.

SUMMARY: This notice is to provide

information to the public concerning a

planned grant from the Center for

Mental Health Services (CMHS) to the

National Association of State Mental

Health Program Directors to fund the

Technical Assistance Center (TA Center)

for State Mental Health Planning. If the

application is recommended for

approval by the Initial Review Group,

and the CMHS National Advisory

Council concurs, funds will be made

available. This is not a formal request

for applications. Assistance will be

provided only to the National

Association of State Mental Health

Program Directors.

Authority/Justification

The cooperative agreement will be

made under the authority of section

1948(a) of the Public Health Service Act,

as amended (42 U.S.C. 300x–58). A

single source award will be made to the

National Association of State Mental

Health Program Directors (NASMHPD)

based on its close relationship with the

single State mental health authorities

(SMHAs). This relationship provides

NASMHPD with a unique qualification

to carry out the activities of this

cooperative agreement, which require

such an affiliation with the State

agencies. As the organization

representing all State mental health

agencies, NASMHPD is the only

organization whose membership is

composed of the persons directly

responsible for the administration of

public mental health policies in the

respective States. NASMHPD enjoys a

full 59-State and territorial membership

of the Mental Health Services Block

Grant recipients, as well as a full,

continuous, and fruitful communication

with the leadership and staff of these

agencies. It thus has staff who are

uniquely knowledgeable about the

needs of the States, and is in a unique

position to assess the actual and verified

needs of the States for technical

assistance.

Background

One of the primary goals of the

Community Mental Health Services

Block Grant is to assist States in the

creation of a comprehensive,

community-based system of care for

adults with severe mental illness and

children with serious emotional

disturbances. The burden of providing

for mental health services lies primarily

with the States. Block grant legislation

requires CMHS to collaborate with the

States in meeting this obligation by

helping them to determine their needs

and by cooperating with them in

identifying appropriate technical

assistance to help them in planning

ways of meeting their programmatic

obligations.

The primary goals of this program are:
