About grants for mental health

Mental health grants fund counseling services, crisis intervention, substance abuse treatment, community wellness programs, and research. SAMHSA is the primary federal funder, distributing billions annually. State mental health agencies, the NIH, and foundations like the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Hogg Foundation provide additional support.
