- Assess data for continuous outcome measurements
- Prioritize data driven recommendations

Our Method, Collective Impact:
What is Collective Impact?
Collective Impact is a community coming together around a backbone organization as a team of equals to collaborate on solutions that no one organization can implement on their own.

The Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute co-sponsored a Mental Health Best Practices Report for Denton in March 2015 with several recommendations focused on producing a plan for coordinated, community-wide efforts to address mental health needs. Acting on this recommendation, we launched our first collective impact initiative and formed the Denton County Behavioral Health Leadership Team to address mental health needs across Denton County. The inaugural meeting convened in June 2015.
As the backbone organization to the Denton County Behavioral Health Leadership Team, we enhance the outcomes of all partners by facilitating a shared vision, shared measurements, mutually reinforcing activities and continuous communication.
