Three Years of Impact for the Behavioral Health Forum
The BHT Behavioral Health Forum is a group of behavioral health provider organizations and educational institutions that has met regularly since 2021 to collaborate on solutions to behavioral health workforce challenges. In 2022, the group became a self-governing body and began using participatory decision-making practices to allocate $1.2M to initiatives that support the behavioral health workforce. As of November 2024, all funds have been allocated and we are celebrating the group’s successes by highlighting the impact the group has had in our region!

Honoring National Native American Heritage Month
At BHT, we share a commitment to Indigenous communities as we address the unique health challenges they face, which are deeply rooted in historical inequities and ongoing systemic barriers. We support Native-led and Native-serving organizations through both funding opportunities and our Tribal Partners Collaborative, which seeks to bring together community leaders to address Native health.
We are Grateful for YOU!
As we enter the season for reflection and gratitude, we want to pause and acknowledge the incredible community that surrounds us at Better Health Together. This year, we are especially grateful for the partnerships, collaborations, and unwavering support that have helped us continue to grow, connect, and make a meaningful impact in eastern Washington.
Celebrating 7 years of Impact with the Spokane Collaborative
This week we had our final meeting of the Spokane Collaborative, as the program’s funding has been discontinued in 2025. Though there is some sadness in change and endings, we took some time this week to celebrate the milestones and success with both past and present collaborative members.
