Mental Health Awareness Training Grant
It is the goal of the Mental Health Awareness Training Grant (MHAT) to raise awareness and respond to the needs of teens and young adults through specialized mental health trainings.


The Mental Health Awareness Training project has concluded. To find available courses in your area, please visit https://www.mentalhealthfirstaid.org/population-focused-modules/youth/.
Through the Mental Health Awareness Training (MHAT) Grant, Embrace Families Solutions has partnered with Wraparound Orange/Orange County Government, Aspire Health Partners (Aspire), National Alliance on Mental Illness Greater Orlando (NAMIGO), Federation of Families of Central Florida, and Robin Daily of the Zebra Coalition, to provide a variety of mental health related trainings free of cost to the community. Target training populations include law enforcement, school personnel, faith-based groups, community center staff and volunteers, and families.
Our goal is to raise awareness for identifying and responding to mental health needs in youth. Approximately half of all mental health disorders develop by age 14. Suicide is the third leading cause of death for youth between the ages of 10 and 24. Between 2013 and 2018, there have been 2,283 psychiatric hospitalizations for youth under the age of 17 in Orange County alone.
