Current funding
Ballad Health Community Health Improvement Initiative
Alongside other regional awardees addressing collective impact health measures, this CHI grant program implements and expands best and promising practices to mitigate Adverse Childhood Experiences, create supportive environments for at-risk populations, implements a “No Wrong Door” policy for wrap-around care and services, and addresses Social Drivers of Health (examples include economic and job stability, early childhood development, access to education, food insecurity, housing and community environments, and increased access to healthcare services).
Established Coalition Grant
The State of Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services has awarded us a grant for 2019-2020 that focuses primarily on alcohol/nicotine use among our youth.
State Opioid Response Grant
The State of Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services provides funding for education of the dangers of opioids, stimulants, and over the counter medications
Community Support
Although grants are a great source of funding for prevention activities they are restricted in what they are allowed to do. Community partnerships are a great source to help fill in the gap where grant funding leaves off. Allowing us to purchase items and provide activities and entertainment for our youth and children is a great way to cultivate a positive atmosphere for our young people to grow and enrich their lives.
Tennessee State Opioid Abatement Funds
Tennessee State Opioid Abatement Funds
Tennessee's Opioid Abatement Council was established by the Tennessee General Assembly in Public Chapter 491 to oversee the distribution and use of funds received from the national opioid settlement agreements. The Council is a collaborative body made up of state officials from relevant agencies, local government representatives, law enforcement, healthcare providers, community leaders and individuals with lived experience with effects of substance misuse or abuse.
