Department of Health Announces Notice of Funding Available through Grants for a peer-to-peer project about mental health and substance use prevention.
The Anne Arundel County Department of Health (AACDOH) is partnering with Anne Arundel County middle and high school Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) chapters, and youth community groups and organizations, to launch a peer-to-peer education project.

The peer-to-peer education project is an evidence-based strategy designed to educate youth on mental health, substance use and available resources. Students will receive formal training on the signs and symptoms of substance use and mental health crises.
Students are then required to showcase their learning to their peers in a relevant and creative format (i.e., PowerPoint, video presentation, commercial, etc.). The AACDOH is committed to working closely with SADD Chapters and youth community groups to provide technical assistance throughout the grant process.
There is $36,000.00 of limited funding available, divided into 74 SADD Mini-Grants in the amount of $499.00 each. SADD Chapter/Youth Organizations that have completed all the steps will receive awards on a first-come, first-served basis, until funding has been exhausted.
