Opportunities to replicate our model of partnership

Members from the Foundations for Success collaboration are assisting the Minnesota Department of Human Services’ Children’s Mental Health Department in the development of a National Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Association (SAMHSA) System of Care Grant.

The grant will focus on developing a state-wide early childhood mental health continuum of care modeled after core elements of the Foundations for Success continuum.

The grant is due on February 1, 2008. In addition to the Foundations for Success members helping develop the logic model, Polly Talen, the Knight Foundation’s program director for St. Paul and Duluth, has offered to financially support the grant writing project.

We are very exicted about helping others expand the Foundations for Success model statewide!
