Mental Health Social Impact Collaborative
Invest for Progress is a collaborative initiative to align the strategic deployment of capital, address barriers to scaling innovative models, and support the acceleration of outcomes-based financing to drive social good and measurable impact. By developing regional testbeds with integrated data, we track longitudinal outcomes that inform financing approaches to ensure progress is both sustainable and accountable. Our goal is to accelerate change by aligning capital and best-in-class solutions with payment model reform to amplify what works for lasting community benefit.
Invest for Progress Launches to Accelerate Behavioral Health Innovation
In May, Invest for Progress launched with a national convening in New York City, uniting founding members to shape a strategic roadmap for behavioral health system transformation. Led by Healthsperien’s Center for Behavioral Health, the initiative focuses on five key areas: substance use disorder, autism/IDD, serious mental illness, youth mental health, and Common Mental Disorders (depression & anxiety).
The event set the stage for addressing innovation barriers, identified best-in-class care models, and explored policy and reimbursement solutions to scale outcomes. It also introduced the Next Stage Acceleration Lab, designed to connect promising solutions with payers and populations, and support future demonstration projects with a unique ROI framework spanning health, justice, and social outcomes.
