St. Lucie RISE Mental Health Collaborative is a Roundtable of St. Lucie County initiative. Lucie RISE – Mental Health Collaborative! The Roundtable of St.

Lucie County has been awarded the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Strategic Prevention Framework-Partnership for Success Grant (SPF-PFS) for $375,000 per year for 5 years through 2028 to launch the St. Lucie RISE Mental Health Collaborative under its umbrella. The purpose of this grant program is to help communities work collaboratively to reduce the onset and pr

ogression of substance misuse and its related problems by supporting the development and delivery of community substance misuse prevention and mental health promotion services. The SPF-PFS program is grounded in the Strategic Prevention Framework (SPF), a data-driven community engagement model grounded in public health principles focused on providing evidence-based services to high-risk and underserved communities. Consistent with the Roundtable’s mission, this grant will enhance our mission to sustain a team of county and business leaders who mobilize resources to improve the education, health, safety, nutrition, and care of all children in St. Lucie County. Local Substance Abuse Prevention and Mental Health Promotion Strategies

Designed to strengthen our community-level prevention capacity to identify and respond to local substance abuse prevention and mental health promotion priorities for high-risk and underserved communities, the St. Lucie RISE Strategic Prevention Partnership is a county-wide initiative designed to implement a comprehensive mix of evidenced-based prevention approaches and services that align with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) expectations to implement high-quality programs, practices, and policies that are recovery-oriented, trauma-informed, and equity-based as a means of improving behavioral health in St. Our partner agencies and collaboratives, businesses, and community advocates will work collectively to address root causes that lead to increased risk for youth substance misuse and mental health challenges. This funding will specifically be utilized to establish a Mental Health Collaborative, made up of community stakeholders, to identify and respond to ongoing behavioral health needs for our community and to oversee the delivery of community-wide Teen Mental Health First-Aid training, support the development of Pediatric Integrated Care access through primary care providers, support the delivery of Functional Family Therapy to underserved communities, and to promote community-wide trauma-informed care approaches. In addition, funding will provide additional support to Drug Free St. Lucie currently funded by the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy and the Center for Disease Control, to expand its substance abuse prevention efforts through the implementation of youth-led Social Norms and Mental Health awareness campaigns. Under the umbrella of the Roundtable, the Mental Health Collaborative and Drug Free St. Lucie will be a force multiplier to improve behavioral health outcomes for youth and families in our community.

Mental Health Awareness Month may be coming to a close, but the conversations, collaboration, and community impact continue 💚

This year’s MHAM Social Media Toolkit was built with intentionality, creativity, and a shared passion for keeping mental health awareness visible throughout St. Lucie County. From planning weekly content and designing graphics to coordinating outreach and community engagement, every detail reflected the teamwork behind the scenes.

Thank you to our partners, supporters, and community members for following along with us this month and helping bring awareness to the forefront. ✨

Awareness is a starting point—not a finish line.
We don’t stop showing up for each other on May 31.
Community, connection, and care are year-round protective factors.
Let’s keep this going—together.

Connection is a powerful protective factor.
When we stay engaged, check in, and support each other consistently,
we help build resilience that lasts.

Community can mean something different to everyone—but one thing stays the same:
It reminds us we’re not alone. 💚

This Mental Health Awareness Month, we asked our youth, partners, and team: What does community mean to you?
Here’s what they shared.

As we head into the final week of Mental Health Awareness Month, remember that working on our mental health doesn’t end when May does. Strong communities create stronger individuals. Connection is more than social—it’s protective.

This week, we’re focusing on what it means to build and sustain supportive relationships that carry us beyond awareness and into everyday life. Because lasting mental wellness is something we create together.

Hashtags for week 4:

Emotional regulation is often misunderstood, even within helping systems.

From a neurodevelopmental and trauma-informed perspective, regulation is not the absence of emotion—it is the capacity to move through emotional states without prolonged dysregulation.

This distinction matters in how we respond, especially in youth-serving environments.

Getting help for your mental health isn’t always simple—and that’s okay. There are real barriers many people face, including cost, stigma, time, and access.

The important thing to know is that support still exists, even when it feels out of reach.

If you’re not sure where to start, the Behavioral Health Resource Guide can help you explore local options.
