• Pacesetter Award The Behavioral Health Pacesetter Award is a joint initiative of the Annapolis Coalition and The Hitachi Foundation to identify and support exemplary workforce practices in community-based behavioral health. The process will culminate with several organizations receiving the award and gaining national recognition for best workforce practices.

  The Alaskan Crosswalk Prior to the production of the Alaskan Core Competencies, The Annapolis Coalition worked with the WICHE Mental Health Program to review existing competencies in Alaska and nationally, and reviewed existing credentialing and certification procedures for the identified occupations.

  The Alaskan Core Competencies Based on analysis of the state’s health and human workforce, a set of “core competencies” was developed for front-line staff members who provide care across a broad range of service sectors. These cross-sector competencies can be used to strengthen the direct care workforce across the country.

• CIHS The SAMHSA-HRSA Center for Integrated Health Solutions seeks to better integrate primary care and behavioral health services so individuals with mental health and substance use conditions can receive quality care in specialty behavioral health AND primary care provider settings.

  Strategic Plan The Action Plan on Behavioral Health Workforce Development reviews the current workforce and its environment, outlines a set of findings, identifies seven core strategic goals and outlines the actions necessary to achieve each goal.

  Assessment Tools for the Alaskan Core Competencies This compendium contains the Collaborative Competency Building Overview and all six assessment tools.
