Description
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services’ Division of Public Health offers this funding to expand or enhance existing adolescent mental health work by local public health and Tribal health agencies. It builds on groundwork established through the Title V Maternal and Child Health (MCH) program to promote young people’s mental, emotional, and social well-being.
Projects must explicitly center youth voice and meaningful youth engagement. The scope is intentionally open-ended: work may address direct or indirect determinants of adolescent mental health. Examples include expanding access to youth-centered mental health resources, supporting physical activity and nutrition, strengthening social connectedness and reducing isolation, and improving the physical environment and safe spaces.
