# AZRHTP - Expansion of Mobile Digital Services, Training & Recruitment, and Prevention Programs Addressing Suicide, Trauma, Substance Use

This RFGA is the seventh public solicitation by AHCCCS under the Arizona Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP). AHCCCS issues this RFGA to consolidate three program areas: (1) expansion of mobile and digital behavioral health services and crisis stabilization infrastructure; (2) training, recruitment, and retention of behavioral health professionals in rural shortage areas; and (3) community prevention programming addressing suicide, trauma, and substance use, specifically targeted to rural and rural Tribal communities in Arizona. The RFGA provides up to $8.5 million in combined funding per budget year across these areas, employing a tiered approach to match organizational capacity and proposed scope. Projects must represent new or expanded activities beyond current operations and are expected to increase access to behavioral health services, strengthen regional workforce pipelines, and improve population health outcomes. Eligible entities include a wide range of rural health and behavioral health agencies, organizations, clinics, health systems, schools, Tribal programs, and coordinated coalitions as detailed within each program area and funding tier.
