This federal Project Grant award of $799,440.00 from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance (CFDA 93.243) program aims to enhance emergency medical services (EMS) training and support in South Carolina. The key objectives of this 2-year project (September 30, 2024 to September 29, 2026) are to: 1) Increase the number of paramedics through the development of an on-site certification program, 2) Enhance training on opioid overdose response, including naloxone administration and fentanyl safety protocols, and 3) Improve the proficiency of the EMS workforce in addressing substance use disorders, trauma-informed care, and facilitating connections to peer support and treatment services. The County of Lancaster Administration Building, a U.S. local government entity, will serve as the primary awardee and project administrator, leveraging this federal grant funding to deliver these critical EMS training and support initiatives across the region.
