The Multnomah County Health Department (MCHD) was awarded a $750,000 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance (CFDA 93.243) grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The 5-year project, starting on September 30, 2024, will serve the 808,098 residents of Multnomah County, Oregon, with a focus on promoting protective factors and resilience among youth, especially Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) and other marginalized populations, to reduce substance use and mental health issues.
The key objectives of the project are to: 1) meaningfully engage community partners to identify priorities and implement evidence-based interventions; 2) expand primary prevention programming tailored to youth, BIPOC, and LGBTQ2SIA+ communities; and 3) expand community-wide substance misuse prevention messaging. The project aims to reach at least 50 individuals in the first year and 100 individuals annually in years 2-5 with the new prevention programs, with at least 50% identifying as BIPOC. The community prevention messaging is expected to have a much broader reach, potentially hundreds of thousands of people.
