About us
The Path Forward is a multi-stakeholder, national-local push to promote the evidence-based, data-driven practices and policies with the best chances of increasing equitable access to quality mental health care and accelerating integration of mental health and addiction care into the broader health system. We achieve our results through radical collaboration across the entire health ecosystem. EQUITABLE ACCESS The Path Forward achieves equitable access by educating employers, states, local governments, unions, and other health purchasers to help them demand more from their health plans and third-party administrators. We provide education through our partner National Alliance’s Regional Multi-Stakeholder Coalitions and technical assistance through our detailed Quantitative Data Templates. COLLABORATIVE CARE : THE GOLD STANDARD FOR INTEGRATION Collaborative Care is the gold standard for behavioral health integration in primary care and the most evidence-based model that exists. Adding a behavioral health care manager and psychiatric consultant to a primary care clinician’s team, it brings the mental health screening and referral process directly to the person in need during a primary care visit. HIGH QUALITY CARE Better quality mental health care begins with the same approaches that have reduced mortality and morbidity rates for heart disease and cancer every year for the last few decades: employing person-centered, precision measurement tools to detect needs early—optimally before the person or their family even knows there is a problem—and tracking the outcomes of care systematically to inform treatment choices and drive person-centered results. We call this Precision Medicine, and it is grounded in an array of Measurement-based Care (MBC) tools. Path Forward is promoting Precision Medicine and MBC with purchasers, payers, and health systems. We also seek action from the major accreditation agencies on national standards.

Last week, we joined Morgan Health and Chase for Business in Los Angeles to teach business leaders ways to reduce mental health stigma at work, as well as how to recognize the signs of an employee struggling with a mental health challenge and how to respond. "The stress of owning a small business can be profound and the demands of being an entrepreneur may result in business owners facing challenges with their mental health," said Tramaine EL-Amin, VP of Mental Health First Aid. "By prioritizing mental health, small business owners can help build resiliency and help employees thrive both in their personal and professional lives."

The Lancet Commission’s latest report reveals a troubling trend: youth mental health has been declining for the past two decades. With mental illnesses peaking at age 15, early intervention is more crucial than ever. We need to create more accessible, age-appropriate mental health services in the U.S. By prioritizing early intervention and innovative care models like Collaborative Care and Measurement-Based Care, we can better support our youth and safeguard their futures.
