Partnership for Success Grant
The Partnership for Success (PFS) Grant is a federal grant initiative provided by the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). Its primary goal is to prevent and reduce substance misuse, particularly among youth and young adults, by supporting community-based strategies. This grant typically funds programs focused on reducing risk factors and increasing protective factors for substance misuse within specific target populations, like high-risk groups or communities facing significant substance use challenges.
PFS grants emphasize data-driven approaches, often requiring funded organizations to collect data on substance misuse trends, assess the impact of their prevention programs, and adapt their strategies to local needs.
Local Prevention Council Grant
A diverse group of committed volunteers who come together to raise awareness and identify solutions to address the profound impact of substance misuse.
Using proven prevention strategies of assessment, readiness, planning, and implementation as a guide, and integrating multifaceted approaches, such advertising, educational workshops and grassroots advocacy, Local Prevention Councils work toward stemming the tide of substance misuse within their own communities.
With grants funded by the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services, Amplify works with each Local Prevention Council offering guidance, resources and encouragement as members come together to clear paths toward positive changes in their towns.
Connecticut State Opioid Response Initiative – Community Mini Grants
This initiative provides small grants (up to $5,000 per award) to local prevention councils and community coalitions to support or expand their capacity in opioid addiction and overdose prevention. Funded by the Connecticut Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) in partnership with Amplify, Inc., the grants aim to:
-
Strengthen local prevention efforts through public awareness, naloxone distribution, and medication disposal.
-
Promote the use of statewide and national prevention campaigns, such as Change the Script and Live Louder.
-
Support additional activities like pharmacist/prescriber education, school-based programming, naloxone training, and recovery-friendly workplace initiatives.
