The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) Department of Health and Social Affairs has been awarded a $263,651 Block Grant for Community Mental Health Services (CFDA 93.958) from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), a component of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. This two-year grant, running from October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2026, will enable the department to deliver a range of critical mental health services and interventions to adults with serious mental illness and children with serious emotional disturbances across the FSM's four states. Services may include outpatient counseling, substance abuse treatment, crisis intervention, case management, housing assistance, peer support, workforce training, and public education campaigns focused on prevention, treatment, and recovery. This funding supports the department's efforts to address mental health disparities and improve access to care for underserved populations in the FSM's remote island communities.
