Maryland AWARE (Project AWARE) FY23

Purpose

To increase the SEA’s capacity in collaboration with State Mental Health Agencies overseeing school-aged youth and with three LEAs, to:

  1. Increase awareness of mental health issues among school-aged youth;
  2. Provide training for school personnel and other adults who interact with school-aged youth to detect and respond to mental health issues; and
  3. Connect school-aged youth who may have behavioral health issues (including serious emotional disturbance - SED) or serious mental illness (SMI) and their families to needed services. 
SAMHSA expects that this program will focus on partnerships and collaboration between state and local systems to promote the healthy development of school-aged youth and prevent youth violence.
