The annual report details the total number of clients receiving mental health treatment services in 2021 by demographics, National Outcome Measures (NOMs), and the top five mental health diagnoses for children (ages 0-17) and adults (ages 18 and older) by geographic distribution. The current MH-CLD system was developed by SAMHSA in collaboration with the Mental Health Services Block Grant recipients and launched in 2011. SAMHSA uses the MH-CLD data to enhance the understanding of publicly funded mental health treatment service systems. The data is used to inform decisions about SAMHSA’s use of its mental health block grant funds, and facilitates a better understanding of the technical assistance and support needs of mental health providers and the communities they serve.
