The Comunity Mental Health Servies Program for Children with Serious Emotional Distrubances supports a broad array of community-based and family-centered services delivered through the system of care model. Most data collection instruments and procedures are built upon those used in the evaluation of Phase IV grantees
SAMHSA awarded grant funding for 5 additional grantees under this Program for FY 2006. As with our other grantees, these 5 new grantee sites are required by their GFA to participate in the national evaluation. NO changes have been made to the national evaluation instruments or data collection protocol (as described in the Supporting Statement that received final OMB approval on October 16, 2006).
