The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) awarded a $600,000 Community Health Centers Program (CFDA 93.224) Project Grant to Teche Action Board, Inc. d/b/a Teche Action Clinic (TAC), a non-profit Federally Qualified Health Center in Franklin, Louisiana. The funding will be used to expand TAC's integrated primary and behavioral health care services for adolescents aged 12-17 in the service area, which has high rates of substance use and mental health issues. Specifically, TAC will utilize its mobile unit and school-based health centers to increase the number of youth receiving mental health and substance use disorder treatment, including medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder. The grant will enable TAC to hire additional behavioral health staff, expand tele-psychiatry, and develop collaborative agreements with certified community behavioral health clinics and opioid treatment programs to address more severe cases through the referral process. The project period is September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2026.
