Behavioral Health Support from COE-NF Winds Down as Grant Nears Completion
(Aug. 4, 2025) The Center of Excellence for Behavioral Health in Nursing Facilities (COE-NF), a three-year initiative funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), will conclude its grant period on Sept. 29th. Since its launch in September 2022, COE-NF has provided nursing facilities with vital training, technical assistance, and behavioral health resources.
With the grant’s expiration, live training sessions and direct technical support will no longer be available. However, COE-NF is collaborating with CMS to ensure that key materials remain accessible via the CMS website. In addition, Alliant Health Solutions will continue hosting COE-NF’s training videos and resources here through at least September 2026, preserving public access for an additional year.
Facilities are encouraged to explore available resources and prepare for the transition. For more details and guidance on next steps, click here.
