The Health Foundation does not fund illness treatment services. The Health Foundation works closely with the Paso del Norte Center at Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute to cultivate collaboration as a neutral convener and facilitator for regional community collaboratives and related work groups or task forces. Work to improve the Paso del Norte region’s mental health and substance use systems under the Disease Prevention and Management Priority Area will strive to achieve an “Ideal Behavioral Health System.” Regional Behavioral Health Consortia leaders strive to achieve an ideal behavioral health system described as: an inclusive collaborative system (including criminal justice, law enforcement, veterans’ services, juvenile justice, child welfare, schools, homeless providers, health systems); organized within whatever resources are available at every possible level (policy, program, procedure, and practice); customer-driven and focused on meeting or exceeding the service and support needs of individuals and families; person-centered, recovery and resiliency-oriented; integrated, trauma-informed, culturally competent, and organized from a population health perspective; set up to meet the needs of individuals and families with complex, co-occurring conditions of all types (mental health, substance use disorders, medical, cognitive, housing, legal, parenting, etc.); and prepared to support individuals and families as they make progress to achieve the happiest, most hopeful, and productive lives they possibly can.
