Program Description
The TN AWARE project aims to build state and local collaborative infrastructure to plan and implement mental health services within grant awarded school districts. The grant program increases youth access to services and resources in schools by raising awareness about mental health issues, increasing early identification and screening of youth to detect unmet behavioral health needs, and establishing partnerships with external mental health services to expand the continuum of services and supports available to schools and their communities.
