Youth ACT Statewide

The New York State Office of Mental Health (OMH or “Office” herein after) announces the availability of funds for the expansion of Youth Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) teams throughout New York State.

The Youth ACT team serve children/youth with Serious Emotional Disturbance (SED), who are returning home from inpatient settings or residential services, at risk of entering such settings, or have not adequately engaged or responded to treatment in more traditional community-based services.

Youth ACT ensures the child and their family have the level of support services and access to clinical professionals they require to sustain any gains made in crisis response or high-end services. Youth ACT teams deliver intensive, highly coordinated, individualized services and skilled therapeutic interventions through an integrated, multi-disciplinary team approach to better achieve success and maintain the child in the home, school and community. The majority of services are provided by Youth ACT staff directly (not brokered) and are delivered in the home or other community-based settings.

All applications must be submitted through the Grants Gateway.

Applicants must be prequalified by due date and time of RFP.
