Center for Mental Health Implementation Support

CMHA has recently joined, as the Michigan partner, the Center for Mental Health Implementation Support (CMHIS). That partnership provides Michigan’s behavioral health with deep knowledge of how to sustainably implement effective mental health prevention, treatment, and recovery practices and programs to support organizations and systems in improving the lives of the people they serve.

CMHIS and its bi-regional Hubs can help your organization or system improve the delivery of mental health care by strategizing to overcome barriers and planning new program implementation from start to finish. CMHIS can help you map the course, navigate roadblocks, and provide support to ensure that the people who need it receive the excellent mental health care that providers always strive to deliver. CMHIS serves grantees funded by SAMHSA’s Center for Mental Health Services and organizations that oversee or directly provide mental health services. These organizations typically work with people with serious mental illness or serious emotional disturbance.
