ADAMH System Grants Network
The ADAMH System Grants Network has been meeting bi-monthly to address issues of interest to those seeking grant funding for ADAMH system agencies. Anyone in your organization with such responsibilities is welcome to join us. We have addressed topics such as SAMHSA program changes, capacity building grants, organizational priorities and had presenters from ODADAS and Ohio Office of Criminal Justice Services (OCJS). Agencies hosting our meetings have shared information on their programs and offered tours of their facilities. These meetings have provided networking opportunities and opened dialogue among our agencies.

The ADAMH System Grants Network will not meet during the summer and will begin again bi-monthly starting in September. Please share your ideas for future presentation/discussion topics and meeting locations with Elaine Newman at 222-3726 or enewman@adamh.co.franklin.oh.us.
