The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) awarded a $1,060,000 Congressional Directives project grant (CFDA 93.493) to Women In Leadership New Mexico Inc., a non-profit organization, to implement the "Supporting Marginalized Communities through Outreach and Overdose Prevention" initiative. This one-year project, starting in September 2024, aims to provide comprehensive support services to 150 participants, including detained women awaiting release, recently released women in early reentry, and high-risk youth from local high schools in Southwest New Mexico. The key products and services to be delivered include bi-weekly tele-echo sessions, weekly life skills and job readiness classes, overdose prevention training, one-on-one peer case management, and specialized programming for the incarcerated population and youth. This grant-funded initiative targets underserved communities, including African American, Hispanic, Indigenous, immigrant, and Asian Pacific Islander populations, to address challenges such as mental health, substance abuse, domestic violence, recidivism, and family unity.
