A wide range of mental health services in Maryland including suicide prevention efforts for service members and addressing gaps in behavioral health for Hispanic residents are getting additional funding starting this month, health officials announced Thursday.
The Maryland Department of Health is awarding $48 million in mental health and substance use grants that will start going out this month, according to a news release. The grants are made possible by additional funding from federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, which received congressional funding as part of a coronavirus supplement in an annual federal funding bill late last year.
Addressing head-on the mental health and substance use challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic has intensified is instrumental to Marylands successful recovery, said Maryland Health Secretary Dennis R.

Programs include:
The health department will also award $32 million through the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant (SABG).
The programs include:
