Grant-Aligned Planning for Emergency Behavioral Health Readiness
Created a planning framework and regional strategy that aligned with federal funding priorities and statewide emergency planning standards.
Challenge
A public health organization sought to enhance its regional preparedness strategy in alignment with national funding priorities. However, it lacked a cohesive plan that captured both service gaps and real-world operational capacity across its behavioral health network.
Our Approach
- Conducted a systems-level review of existing behavioral health infrastructure
- Conducted a regional and statewide gap analyses
- Facilitated multi-agency workgroups
- Developed planning framework tied to FEMA and SAMHSA funding requirements
- Drafted a strategic document with region-specific priorities
Results
The client received a fundable, implementation-ready report with clear alignment to grant frameworks and stakeholder needs. The final output met state and federal expectations, positioned the agency for future grant eligibility, and laid the foundation for cross-system collaboration in times of crisis.
Key Takeways
- Developed a funder-aligned behavioral health emergency plan
- Bridged gaps between planning and operational readiness
- Increased regional capacity to secure future funding
- Clarified priorities across diverse emergency jurisdictions
