Overview

The Ethel and James Flinn Foundation's grant program, specifically for Adult Mental Health, emphasizes the implementation of Evidence-Based Practices (EBPs) in southeast Michigan for adults aged 22 and older. Priority is given to proposals that advance best practice treatment programs, promote early intervention, and enhance cross-system collaboration to address mental health access and outcome inequities. Key areas of focus include:

Integration of behavioral health care into primary care settings for early intervention.
Adoption of best practice therapeutic treatment and care coordination models, especially for individuals with complex health needs.
Development of programs targeting behavioral health improvements for veterans.
Implementation of best practice models that divert individuals from the criminal justice system into appropriate behavioral health treatment.
Enhancement of cross-sector collaborations for systemic improvements in behavioral health access, delivery, treatment outcomes, and health equity.
