Mental Health Treatment & Intervention Fund
Supports new approaches to address mental health treatment gaps in Bermuda
This funding opportunity supports innovative, evidence-based programmes that enhance mental health support for young adults (ages 18–25) in Bermuda.
Funding is not intended for traditional service delivery models such as individual psychotherapy or medication-based care plans. Instead, we seek proposals that introduce new approaches to address mental health treatment gaps, particularly for individuals who may lack access to therapy or require community-based support systems to sustain and build upon their treatment progress.
Programmes should be grounded in evidence-based practices and demonstrate creative, impactful strategies that go beyond existing mental health services to expand accessibility and improve long-term outcomes for young adults.
Deadline
Applications will be reviewed and approved on a rolling basis.
Accessing the Application
This application is accessible by invitation only.
