Association Executive Directors Community

Dear Association Execs: 

I hope you all are doing well. I'm writing to let you know that the National Council will launch our 2024 CCBHC Impact Survey in the coming week!

This yearly survey has emerged as the pre-eminent source of up-to-date information about CCBHCs' (including CCBHOs' and ICWCs') activities and has driven successful advocacy efforts to sustain and expand the program over many years. 

This year, we're planning to dig deeper into topics of widespread interest-such as CCBHCs' role in the crisis response continuum-as well as our standard questions around increases in access to care, among others.  

High response rates from CCBHCs are invaluable in this effort. New this year, if we can get enough responses from each state, we'll be able to create state-specific data sheets! We hope these will be helpful in your federal and state advocacy. 

We would greatly appreciate your support in encouraging your CCBHC members to participate in the survey. I've included a short template message below encouraging folks to participate – we would be grateful if you could pass this along to your CCBHCs (or edit it as you see fit). 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to let me know. Thank you in advance for your support! 

Best, 

Becca

Subject: National CCBHC Impact Survey Launching Soon – Please Support Our Effort! 

Dear CCBHC Members: 

The National Council for Mental Wellbeing will launch its 2024 CCBHC Impact Survey in the coming days. This annual effort provides up-to-date information about CCBHCs' activities and impact that [your association name] relies on to support our state and federal advocacy to sustain and expand the model. 

Our state has always had strong participation in this survey, and we're counting on you to help us do it again! Please stay tuned for an email from Chuck Ingoglia at the National Council notifying you of the survey launch and providing you with your organization's individualized survey link. 

High response rates from our state will allow us to create state-specific data sheets about your successes and impact. I'm excited to see the data from our state and use it to help secure additional investment in your efforts! 

Thank you in advance for taking the time to participate in the survey. As always, I'm so grateful for all that you do to advance behavioral health and make a positive impact on your communities.
