What is the SAMHSA Grant Project?
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) project is a grant awarded to the state of Maine which will span three years from 9/30/05 to 9/29/08. This funding will allow the MYSPP to move forward with some of the key priorities. Funds will expand Maine’s youth suicide prevention program by instituting a comprehensive, community-based approach in three areas of the state with elevated risk factors. The project will extend outreach and supports to college youth, sexual minority youth and two Native American tribes to improve the development and delivery of program messages and materials, training and services.
