APPLICATION DEADLINE: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 19, 2025

Are you a grantee working on a school-based mental health program at the state, district, or campus level for a Project AWARE or TISS grant? Are you looking to strengthen your sustainability planning and ensure your program continues to deliver meaningful impact beyond your initial grant?

CMHIS and our five bi-regional Hubs invite you to apply to join a new, free six-session, bi-weekly learning community beginning in February 2026 focused on building capacity for sustainability planning. This series offers a practical, collaborative opportunity to gain hands-on experience in developing or improving a sustainability plan, so your work can continue making a difference long-term.  Sessions will include didactics and consultation from experts, structured breakout activities, and peer-to-peer learning to guide participants through each step of the sustainability planning process. At the end of the learning community, you will have created (or enhanced) a sustainability plan for at least one key accomplishment of your grant.

This programming has been developed specifically for current and former Project AWARE and TISS grantees. Please consider bringing a small team of 2 to 4 key partners from your project team.* This team might include:

• Project directors
• State, district, campus administrators
• Mental health agency partners
• Evaluators
• Regional educational or academic partners
• School mental health clinicians or counselors

*While we encourage teams to apply, individual participation is also acceptable. 

Additional details including applicant requirements, expectations, learning community timeline and more are available in the online application here. Interested applicants should complete the online application by 11:59 p.m. PT on Friday, December 19, 2025.
