Mental Health Social Impact Collaborative
Invest for Progress is a collaborative initiative that guides strategic investments, fosters innovative models, and supports the scaling of existing solutions to drive social good and measurable impact. By leveraging data collaboratives, we track longitudinal outcomes that inform smarter decision-making and ensure progress is both sustainable and accountable. Our goal is to accelerate change by aligning capital with purpose and amplifying 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 mild to moderate depression and anxiety.
The event set the stage for regional convenings, identified best-in-class care models, and explored policy and reimbursement solutions to scale innovation. 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.
Invest for Progress is mobilizing capital and collaboration to build the future of care. Join us.
