SUMMARY:OMH Vital Signs Dashboard Webinar
DESCRIPTION:We are all aware of the stark reality that people with mental health conditions\, especially individuals of color\, face inequities in access\, quality\, and outcomes of healthcare services; challenges that have only been exacerbated by the COVID pandemic. The Office of Mental Health (OMH) developed a new Vital Signs Dashboard (VSD) for providers and counties to inform quality improvement planning\, identify emerging and persistent health disparities\, and promote health equity. \nThe VSD is a resource to assist in efforts to promote health equity in programs. The dashboard provides prevalence rates on specific quality measures derived from Medicaid data on clients with a mental health diagnosis served by our OMH licensed and designated programs and the data can be stratified by population categories such as race & ethnicity. \nAccess \nYou can access the VSD with the following link: \nhttps://mypublicdashboard.ny.gov/t/OMH/views/OMHVitalSignsDashboardVSD/VSDHome-Adult?:showAppBanner=false&:display_count=n&:showVizHome=n&:origin=viz_share_link \nNote: This link does not require login credentials and works best on Chrome\, Edge or Safari web browsers. At this time the VSD link is only being shared with OMH licensed and designated providers as well as county mental health authorities\, to allow you an opportunity to review your organization’s data before a broader release.

This webinar will be offered in August and September; please see the VSD webinar registration page for more details and to register for the date and time that works for you. \nTechnical Support & Opportunities for Feedback \nIf you have any questions\, please contact the VSD team.

SUMMARY:How Behavioral Health Organizations Can Strategically Leverage Public\, Private Grants
DESCRIPTION:Behavioral health organizations are benefitting from unprecedented access to public and private grant funding. But there are significant risks to simply “chasing funds\,” such as mission drift and increased staff burnout within an already overburdened workforce. During this webinar\, speakers from HMA and LAPA Fundraising will outline concrete steps behavioral health organizations can take to ensure they are pursuing the type of grants that support their overall mission. \nJoin us to: \n\nObtain an overview of current and upcoming funding opportunities that behavioral health agencies can use to build capacity and better serve their communities\nUnderstand the tools and tactics organizations need to enhance their ability to attract both public and private grants\nDevelop a long-term strategy for diversifying agency funding for use in both growing existing behavioral health programs and seeding new and innovative initiatives
