Communities Talk Event News

We are nearing the next cycle of the Communities Talk! A major change is coming!

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) will be sponsoring stipends for the next round of Communities Talk to Prevent Alcohol and Other Drug Misuse, an initiative that focuses on alcohol and other drug misuse that negatively affect communities and our youth. Since 2006, the initiative has provided prevention resources and stipends to thousands of community-based organizations, colleges, and universities. Starting in 2023, stipends will be available every year!

The SAMHSA Communities Talk website (https://www.stopalcoholabuse.gov/communitiestalk/) will have the step by step process for applying and receiving the stipend posted by the middle of December 2022.

Please let Martha Williams (martha.williams@hca.wa.gov) know if you have any questions.
