Don't forget, you can join us in-person at Carilion Children's on Tuesday, February 27th, for a funding workshop with SAMHSA. Register with the link below! SAMHSA recognizes that the federal grant process could be daunting without guidance. In particular, organizations may find it more challenging in underserved communities to secure a federal grant. This may contribute to inequitable access to invaluable behavioral health resources for individuals in need of these services across the nation. Consistent with the agency's commitments to advancing equity, SAMHSA is launching a new effort to advise community-based organizations about the agency’s resources. Dr. Kurt John, Chief Financial Officer and Office of Financial Resources Director at SAMHSA, along with two grant technical experts, will be visiting various regions within the United States to provide insight about SAMHSA’s funding opportunities, grant application process, and resources available to help grantees administer their award. https://hubs.ly/Q02mjlgy0
