Montana To Expand Peer Support Services For Families & Caregivers   

Montana will allocate $700,000 to expand peer support services for families and caregivers of children with behavioral health challenges or special health care needs. The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services intends to award five one-time grants to organizations with experience delivering family peer support services. The grant awardees will receive funds over a two-year period.  

Family peer support services are provided by those who have lived experience raising a child with behavioral health challenges or special health care needs.  They can offer emotional support, help navigating the health care system, and assistance connecting families . . .
