Typical or Troubled? Mental Health Grant Program

Posted by American Psychiatric Foundation on March 9, 2015

The Typical or Troubled? School Mental Health Education Program was developed by the American Psychiatric Foundation to address the important role adults can have in a teen’s life and the importance of early identification of mental health issues. At its core, Typical or Troubled? is an evidence-based program that has been successfully implemented in nearly two thousand urban, suburban, and rural schools across the nation. To promote student health and safety, the program encourages and equips adults who interact closely with adolescents to notice the warning signs of mental health problems, to be prepared with intervention strategies, and to know where to refer teens for help in addressing these issues.

For implementation in two to four high schools, grants will be awarded in the amount of $1,000. For implementation in five or more high schools, grants of $2,000 will be awarded.

A two hour-long webinar to answer applicants’ questions will be held on March 4 and March 18 at 3:30 p.m. ET. See the APF website to register for a webinar and/or for complete program guidelines, an FAQ, and application instructions.

DEADLINE: MARCH 31, 2015
