Project Summary:
Advancing Behavioral Health Initiative Phase I
Upstream Improvement: Enhancing behavioral health in Northern Wisconsin is a project within AHW's Advancing Behavioral Health Initiative, an eight-year, $20 million initiative bringing together 10 community coalitions from across Wisconsin to address pressing mental health needs within their communities. A three-phase initiative, phase one served as a funded learning and planning phase, supporting community coalitions in developing a critical project focus and implementation plan.
Through this project, partners sought to develop an implementation plan to support the creation of a system that both addresses the social determinants of behavioral health and improves the availability, accessibility, and acceptability of regional services.
This project is part of AHW's Advancing Behavioral Health Initiative, an eight-year, $20 million initiative bringing together 10 community coalitions from across Wisconsin to address pressing mental health needs within their communities.
