Leading Alabama’s efforts to enhance the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities impacted by mental illness, developmental disabilities, substance use, the Alabama Department of Mental Health (ADMH) is seeking proposals for the use of the ADMH Partnership for Success (PFS) for Marijuana. The purpose of this grant program is to prevent, reduce, or mitigate the effects of marijuana use for 18-25 year olds and has a total grant amount of $1,014,176. The top three counties have been identified in each of the four regions for a total of twelve counties in the state. Each county will have a minimum of $51,369 up to $115,000 to utilize for the purpose of this grant. The Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF) will be utilized for the development of the execution of planning and implementation of these strategies. Utilization of the SPF will lead to implementing evidence-based programs, policies and practices (EBPPPs). The EBPPPs will coincide with the CSAP strategies. Additionally, applicants must demonstrate they are not supplanting existing funding and should avoid using the dollars in areas where other funds are available.
