Accordingly the Community Mental Health Services Block Grant is authorized by Part B of Title XIX of the Public Health Service Act and is the single largest Federal contribution dedicated to improving mental health service systems across the country.
Improving access to community based systems is especially important, with the current changes in the health care delivery system.
Through the Community Mental Health Services Block Grant, a joint ‘FederalState’ partnership, CMHS supports existing public services and encourages the development of creative and costeffective systems of ‘community based’ care for people with serious mental disorders. Accordingly the Center for Mental Health Services’ Community Mental Health Services Block Grant awards grants to the States to provide mental health services to people with mental disorders.
In communities throughout the United States, mental disorders affect people of all ages and in all walks of life.
Each year in the United States, more than 5 million adults and children are diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, severe depression, and identical serious mental disorders.
People with these disorders have extensive and complex needs, and most individuals quickly exhaust available insurance benefits. Now look, the program stipulates that case management be provided to individuals with the most serious mental disorders and encourages appropriate partnerships among a vast selection of health, dental, mental health, vocational, housing, and educational services. With all that said… Besides, the Community Mental Health Services Block Grant works in close collaboration with any State or Territory to develop and implement its own State Mental Health Plan for improving communitybased services and reducing reliance on hospitalization, since what’s effective in one tate may not be effective in another.
Community Mental Health Services Block Grant supports grassroots involvement of the major stakeholders in mental health services at both the State and the Federal levels.
On top of service providers and State officials, any council must include consumers of mental health services and family members.
Each State or Territory is required to have a mental health planning council to review the State Mental Health Plan. At the Federal level, mental health planning council members including family members, consumers, State officials, and service ‘providers serve’ as CMHS reviewers of State Mental Health Plans and Implementation Reports.
