The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is launching a grant program to recruit and train emergency medical service (EMS) providers to rural areas. This program intends to address substance use disorder and co-occurring disorders related to substance use and mental health. It will also strengthen EMS personnel capability to provide trauma-informed, recovery-based care during emergencies.
Interested facilities are encouraged to join SAMHSA’s pre-application webinar on Jan. 24 at 4 p.m. to learn more.
Members with questions may contact Kelsey Ostergren at the MHA.
