Purpose

The Montana Mental Health Access Fund provides funding to mental health service providers in Montana to support innovative ideas for increasing access and improving mental health and well-being for residents, with special emphasis on rural and tribal communities, and other remote, hard-to-reach areas and populations.

Funded projects must:

  • Reduce barriers to accessing mental health services including geographic, demographic, and economic barriers
  • Provide mental health services associated with the grant at no cost to the patient
  • Be long-term and sustainable solutions to increasing access to mental health
  • Fill a need that other available resources in the community cannot meet
  • Be evidence based and demonstrate measurable outcomes
  • Create or advance new and substantive partnerships that result in the more efficient and effective use of resources.
