Now is the Time
To improve access to treatment and support services for youth and young adults ages 16-25 that either have, or are at risk of, developing a serious mental health condition.
Healthy Transitions Grant
Washington County Behavioral Health and Developmental Services is excited to participate in the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) “Now Is the Time: Healthy Transitions” Grant. This is a five year grant designed to improve the lives of transition age youth and young adults in our county.
The grant is designed to promote awareness and early identification of individuals ages 16-25 with, or at risk of, serious mental health conditions, and to improve access to a broad array of effective and integrated services and supports for transition age youth and young adults.
