Mental Health Transformation State Incentive Grant (TSIG) 

Transformation is underway in Ohio to better serve people with mental illnesses and emotional disorders. Mental health partners across the state envision a system that addresses mental illnesses with the same urgency as other medical problems and ensures that all Ohioans with mental illness can live, work, learn and participate fully in their communities.

Ohio has been awarded $12 million over the next five years by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to enhance system transformation planning. The grant funds may only be used for infrastructure changes, such as planning, collaborating, blended funding, or developing service concepts, policies and procedures that support a transformation agenda, not for providing services.
