Grant programs establishment for various purposes related to children's mental health
SF 1561 establishes two new grant programs to improve children's mental health services in Minnesota. It creates a "youth care professional grant" to fund trauma-informed training for direct care staff working in children's residential facilities, certified programs, and day treatment settings. The bill also creates "high-fidelity wraparound grants" to support community-based providers and counties in delivering comprehensive, child-driven mental health services for children with serious challenges. Both programs require specific training curricula, documentation of service costs, and the creation of a registry for trained staff, with funding administered through the Department of Human Services.
