The deadline to submit applications for the Mental Health Intervention Team (MHIT) grant and the Safe and Secure Schools grant is 5 p.m. Friday, June 9.
For the MHIT grant, the Kansas State Department of Education (KSDE) invites proposals for projects that coordinate school-based services with a Community Mental Health Center (CMHC) or other approved mental health provider for students who need help during the 2023-2024 school year.
The MHIT program grant supplies school districts with funds to hire school liaisons to aid and provide mental health services to students, as well as funds for CMHCs or other mental health providers districts are working with.
Applications can be downloaded from the MHIT website.
For more information about the MHIT grant, contact KSDE’s John Calvert by email at jcalvert@ksde.org or by phone at 785-296-7056.
