The National Center for Mental Health Dissemination, Implementation and Sustainment (MHDIS)

The purpose of this SAMHSA program is to create a National Center for Mental Health Dissemination, Implementation, and Sustainment (MHDIS) to build the capacity of CMHS grant recipients, as well as organizations that oversee or directly provide mental health services to improve the implementation of evidence-based change management processes that guide mental health services. This will be accomplished by establishing five bi-regional Mental Health Technical Assistance Centers (MTACs) that provide localized, targeted and intensive technical assistance (TA) to CMHS grant recipients and other mental health providers.
