The initiative aims to provide virtual mental health services to students in Maricopa County, with a goal of reaching 50,000 students annually. The cost-reimbursement contract will be funded with $750,000 from JUUL settlement funds for the first year, with potential renewal for two additional years. The selected contractor will deliver short-term virtual therapy sessions, recruit schools, and track program impact, with services available during and outside school hours.

The contract opportunity is open to nonprofit, private, and academic organizations with specific eligibility requirements, including at least five years of telehealth-based mental health service experience in school settings, three years of insurance billing for behavioral health services, and a track record of serving at least 300,000-600,000 students in the past five years.

The budget template provides a framework for detailing personnel, supplies, equipment, contractual services, and administrative costs, with an 8% indirect cost rate allowance.
