A second round of the Take Action for Mental Health L.A. County grant program is now open and available for applications. The grant program is seeking proposals for events and programs that will promote well-being and community connection in Los Angeles County during May Mental Health Awareness Month and through June 2023. Grants are being offered by Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health or LACDMH in collaboration with the California Mental Health Services Authority or CalMHSA and are made possible through the CA Mental Health Services Act or MHSA Prevention and Early Intervention funding.
The grant program is seeking programs to coincide with May Mental Health Awareness Month and foster community connection as a part of LACDMH’s Take Action for Mental Health L.A. County campaign. Events submitted for consideration should take place during the months of May and June 2023, and focus on decreasing stigma and discrimination, increasing help seeking behaviors, increasing awareness of and access to mental health services and resources or any activities that address one or more negative effects of untreated mental illness.
Grants will be awarded to organizations that promote mental health and well-being through community engagement. Grant proposals must be submitted through CalMSHA’s e-procurement portal at https://calmhsa.bonfirehub.com.
