Description
This grant opportunity, administered by SAMHSA, aims to promote the integration of primary and behavioral health care through the implementation of the Collaborative Care Model (CoCM). The CoCM is an evidence-based, team-driven approach that brings together primary care providers, care managers, consulting psychiatrists, and other mental health professionals to address mental health and substance use conditions within primary care settings. Awardees are expected to work with at least three primary care practices to develop the necessary staffing and systems for effective CoCM implementation.
