announce
> three grant opportunities for the 2006-07 academic year. All three
> areas of focus use the Coordinated School Health model and are based
> on the belief that students who are healthy can achieve better
> academically. The grant institutes are designed to develop the
> capacity of faculty, staff, and the community to assess, plan, and
> implement actions to promote the health and well-being of faculty,
> staff, and students. Listed below are the three grant opportunities
> and the request for applications. Both grant RFA's (request for

> ***Mental and Emotional Health Opportunity***
> This year, for the first time, schools can apply to be one of 4
> demonstration project sites using a Coordinated School Health
Approach
> to address mental and emotional health needs. The goal of this
project
> is to improve access for children and youth to a full continuum of
> mental health services and create environments that promote optimal
> social and emotional development on school campuses. The selected
> schools will participate in a series of learning institutes, will
> pilot-test new tools, and will receive tailored technical assistance
> to assess campus mental health needs and develop an action plan to
> address a priority mental health issue. For more information, please
> contact Isabelle Barbour, Adolescent Health Section, DHS at
