In September of 2018, Indiana Department of Education in partnership with the Indiana Division of Mental Health and Addiction, was awarded a $9 million Project Advancing Wellness and Resilience Education grant through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
DMHA coordinates with IDOE to facilitate linkage between Local Education Agencies and Community Mental Health Center, local Systems of Care, as well as other mental health providers and supports with the goal of providing a comprehensive approach to mental health care.
Indiana’s objective is to build and expand the capacity of the partnership between IDOE and DMHA in overseeing the social, emotional and behavioral wellness of school-aged youth. Follow the link below for more information on Project AWARE from IDOE.
