The MHTTC Network ended on September 29, 2024
This includes the 10 Regional Centers and Network Coordinating Office, and the work done through the main grant and school mental health supplement.
The MHTTC Network included 10 Regional Centers and a Network Coordinating Office and was funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). From August 2018 to September 2024, our collaborative network supported resource development and dissemination, training and technical assistance, and workforce development in the mental health field. We are extremely grateful for your support over the last six years. Because of you, we have been able to respond to the mental health workforce’s evolving needs, including during the difficult times of the COVID-19 pandemic, and support mental health providers as they implement evidence-based practices.
Center Resources
In the upcoming months, SAMHSA will be archiving a small selection of MHTTC recorded trainings via their YouTube channel and MHTTC written resources via the SAMHSA Store. See below for details on how each Center will continue to make some of their resources available.

Future Training and Technical Assistance Needs
Although the MHTTC Network has ended, SAMHSA supports other training and technical assistance centers that can support you, including on specific topics related to mental health. Please visit SAMHSA’s Technical Assistance and Training Directory to identify the best center to assist you.
Starting in April 2025, the newly funded Center for Mental Health Implementation Support (CMHIS), led by the Stanford University team that housed the MHTTC Network Coordinating Office, will start providing training and technical assistance specifically on “the how” of practice change, or the process of selecting, implementing, and sustaining effective mental health services. If you are interested in learning about CMHIS, please visit their website and create an account.
For questions about the MHTTC Network, please contact the former MHTTC Network Coordinating Office or Kimberly E. Reynolds, MPA, MEd, Public Health Advisor & Project Officer, Office of Technical Assistance & Coordination, Center for Mental Health Services, SAMHSA.
