NATSAP applauds SAMHSA and its Serious Mental Illness Training and Technical Assistance Center (SMI TTAC), a vital resource for enhancing mental health care for individuals with Serious Mental Illness (SMI) and first episode psychosis (FEP). By offering cutting-edge training, tools, and resources, the SMI TTAC empowers professionals, families, and communities to improve the identification, treatment, and recovery journey for those living with SMI.

The SMI TTAC’s focus on evidence-based practices resonates strongly with the mission of NATSAP member programs. Through personalized technical assistance and tailored resources, it equips stakeholders with strategies to expand access to care and elevate the quality of services. This aligns with our members’ commitment to providing impactful, recovery-oriented care that supports lasting transformation.

Operated by the National Council for Mental Wellbeing and funded by SAMHSA, the SMI TTAC develops and shares innovative solutions for mental health providers and caregivers. For NATSAP members, these resources offer opportunities to strengthen therapeutic practices and better support families navigating the challenges of SMI.
