Children's Mental Health Benchmarking Project

DMA completed the first year pilot project for a grant from the Annie E. Casey Foundation to collect data on key performance benchmarks for children’s mental health services. DMA is working with state and county purchasers to collect data on key features of their mental health systems for year two. 

Outcomes:  DMA prepared a report on the findings from Year One.  We have received expanded support for the project from the Center for Health Care Strategies and The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.  In Year Two, we are significantly expanding the number of states reporting and sponsoring a Benchmarking Institute for participants in the project.
