Mental health informed skills training (mhist)

This $1,650,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education (CFDA 84.116 - Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education) supports Nevada State University's "MENTAL HEALTH INFORMED SKILLS TRAINING (MHIST)" program. The grant, which runs from September 1, 2024 to August 31, 2027, will enable the university to develop and implement innovative educational strategies focused on enhancing mental health awareness and skills training for postsecondary students. Key objectives of the MHIST program include increasing access to mental health services, providing targeted mental health education, and equipping students with the necessary skills to support their own wellbeing and that of their peers. As a minority-serving and Hispanic-serving institution, Nevada State University will leverage this funding to address critical mental health needs within its diverse student population and surrounding community.
