Delta Center State Learning & Action Collaborative Kickoff
The Delta Center for a Thriving Safety Net held a kickoff convening in Denver, Colorado, June 19-20th for the first cohort of state primary care associations and behavioral health state associations participating in the State Learning & Action Collaborative.
Convening goals for participants were to:
- Understand the four key goals of the program around enhancing the capacity of the state associations, with regard to internal capacity and ability to become learning organizations, policy and advocacy, collaboration between primary care and behavioral health, and TA and training for their provider members
- Identify opportunities for primary care and behavioral health to work together at the state level
- Get to know peers and identify opportunities for shared learning across state associations
- Provide input through co-design to shape Delta Center activities
- Identify how their goals align with Delta Center goals and identify next steps to take prior to the next convening
