Macro International (ICF Macro), a subsidiary of ICF International (NASDAQ:ICFI), was awarded two re-compete, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contracts valued at more than $20 million with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Center for Mental Health Services.

ICF Macro will continue to assist SAMHSA in its evaluations of the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Youth Suicide Prevention Initiative, the Lifeline crisis hotline program, and the National Child Traumatic Stress Initiative - three programs dedicated to supporting people in times of crisis by saving lives and improving mental health and well being. Dedicated and experienced ICF Macro support teams will ensure the continuation of high quality suicide prevention and child traumatic stress treatment evaluations.

“We are extremely pleased to continue and expand our relationship with the Center for Mental Health Services as it continues to address these national priorities of suicide prevention and the treatment of traumatic stress and exposure,” said Christine Walrath, ICF Macro vice president. “Our assistance will help to ensure that the promising and effective programs that save lives and promote mental health and wellness are being funded and sustained.”
