"Founded in 1959 and based in Alexandria, VA, the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors (NASMHPD) represents the public mental health service delivery system in all states, territories, Pacific Jurisdictions, and the District of Columbia. NASMHPD (pronounced “NASH-bid”) is the only national association to represent state mental health commissioners/directors and their agencies."

"The National Dialogues on Behavioral Health (NDBH) 67th Annual Conference, “Harnessing Artificial Intelligence: Innovation, Integrity, Impact,” is November 8-11 in New Orleans, Louisiana. This year’s conference will address the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and behavioral health. Beginning with a pre-conference introduction to AI fundamentals and applications, sessions will focus on balancing AI’s promise for expanding access and efficiency with attention to safety, privacy, and accountability across behavioral health systems. NASMHPD is a partner on the National Dialogues on Behavioral Health alongside the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education Behavioral Health Program (WICHE-BHP) and The National Association of County Behavioral Health and Disability Directors (NACBHDD)."

"Communicating the impact of the Certified Community Behavioral Health Center Transformation (CCBHC) model is essential for building stakeholder awareness and support. This toolkit, developed via the CCBHC Transformation (CCBHC-T) Initiative, helps state teams develop clear, consistent messaging by identifying key audiences, organizing data and stories, crafting stakeholder-specific messages and planning communication activities. Designed for teams overseeing CCBHC design, development and implementation, the toolkit provides practical prompts and tools to help states tell the story of how CCBHCs are improving access to high-quality behavioral health care."

"The Link Center has released a new publication, Cross-System Strategies to Support Children with Complex Behavioral Health Conditions, authored by Nancy Thaler with contributions from Stacy L. Nonnemacher, PhD. The paper confronts a persistent challenge for states in how to better support children whose needs span multiple systems, including behavioral health, child welfare, Medicaid, developmental disabilities, education, and juvenile justice. Grounded in neuroscience and focused on practical systems change, it offers a framework built on three pillars: a place that is safe, treatment to heal, and opportunities to grow. State leaders, providers, and families will find actionable strategies to strengthen policy, service design, financing, data use, and cross-system collaboration.
