Multi-State Collaborative

Share Best Practices

Join Our Peer-to-Peer Network to Share, Learn, and Implement Working Solutions

The Multi-State Collaborative was established in spring 2022 to enable those working to prevent, treat and solve youth behavioral and mental health issues to collectively share best practices across states. Participants, including presenters, are from Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona, Minnesota, California, Maryland, New York, Vermont, and more.

The collaborative meets every quarter (invitation only) for one hour. Please email Marjorie McKee, mdlogix VP for marketing and communications, marjoriem@mdlogix.com , to receive an invitation to the next meeting.

Recordings of and presenter materials from the quarterly meetings will be available on this page.

Third Quarter Multi State Collaborative Meeting

PENNSYLVANIA 10-YEAR GLS CASE EXAMPLE
Student Suicide Prevention Using Technology

From 2014 – 2024, bhworks student mental health software has been in use by the Student Assistance Program (SAP) agencies in Pennsylvania. The goal has been to establish and implement policies and procedures that support statewide youth suicide prevention efforts. Pennsylvania funded this project with two, 5-year Garrett Lee Smith (GLS) grants from the federal government.

During this meeting, we will summarize the progress in the PA program along with technology growth. With the latest GLS grant awardees announced – New York and Nevada partnered with bhworks to receive funding this round – we will also discuss where we are headed with software in identifying and preventing students from harming themselves and/or others.

Collaborative meetings are by invitation only to K-12 school representatives. Email marjoriem@mdlogix.com to RSVP & for Zoom Meeting details.

Please email questions, comments, topic ideas, or requests to marjoriem@mdlogix.com

Behavioral Health Learning Collaborative (BHLC) of PA

Our mission: For over a decade, stakeholders across Pennsylvania have been helping organizations establish and implement policies and procedures that support statewide youth suicide prevention efforts. 

This interdisciplinary team has grown to include hundreds of organizations, including healthcare providers, schools, mental health agencies, drug & alcohol agencies, Student Assistance Program liaisons, colleges, universities, and crisis responders.

We continue to strengthen and grow this network of people working towards the same goal – to prevent suicide and support the behavioral health needs of people across Pennsylvania.
