The Fiscal Year 2022 Law Enforcement Mental Health and Wellness Act (LEMHWA) Program funds are used to improve the delivery of and access to mental health and wellness services for law enforcement through the implementation of peer support, training, family resources, suicide prevention, and other promising practices for wellness programs. The FY22 LEMHWA program will fund projects that develop knowledge, increase awareness of effective mental health and wellness strategies, increase the skills and abilities of law enforcement, and increase the number of law enforcement agencies and relevant stakeholders using peer support, training, family resources, suicide prevention, and other promising practices for wellness programs.
The LEMHWA National Level Training and Technical Assistance Solicitation — which has two subcategories, (1) National Peer Support Training Program and (2) LEMHWA Implementation Technical Assistance and Resources — aims to support training, resources and technical assistance efforts to help build knowledge and the capacity of state, local, tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies who are seeking to implement mental health and wellness initiatives within their own agencies.
Deadline: April 27, 2022
This solicitation is open to all public governmental agencies, federally recognized Indian tribes, for-profit organizations, nonprofit organizations, institutions of higher education, community groups, and faith-based organizations. For-profit organizations (as well as other recipients) must forgo any profit or management fee.
