System of Care

NTTAC proudly supports System of Care sites funded through the Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children with Serious Emotional Disturbances grant program (also known as the Children’s Mental Health Initiative, or CMHI).

This long-running SAMHSA initiative supports the nationwide implementation, expansion, and sustainability of efforts to improve mental health outcomes for children and youth (birth to age 21) with serious emotional disturbance and their families. The initiative is built on the System of Care approach, which promotes care that is youth guided, family driven, and equity based.

NTTAC provides an array of distance learning opportunities, resources, and other supports for System of Care grantees. Grantees are warmly invited to contact us for no-cost training and technical assistance and to sign up for news from NTTAC. Below are a few resources related to this initiative.
