On June 22, 2022 at 5:00 pm EDT, this two-hour event was held to increase the access to and visibility of community-based organizations across the country.
The SAMHSA Office of Behavioral Health Equity (OBHE) invited partners to join the first National Network to Eliminate Disparities in Behavioral Health (NNED) Diversity Inclusion Project Showcase (DIPS) on June 22, 2022. Hosted by SAMHSA OBHE and the NNED National Facilitation Center (NFC), this event brought together NNED community-based organizations (CBOs), state and regional leaders, and philanthropic organizations. In addition to the NNED CBO showcases, this event also featured panelists who spoke on innovative ways to fund and sustain behavioral health field.
This event was modeled from HHS Region 1’s Behavioral Health Matters Diversity Inclusion Project Showcase event that occurred in February 2021 and the first NNED DIPS conference held in August of 2021.
Who’s Invited
- State and Regional Leadership to discover creative ways to engage diverse CBOs, match programs to people, and gain access to a database to ease outreach.
- Philanthropy to explore CBOs that might benefit from their behavioral health equity initiatives.
- NNED CBOs to showcase their business and behavioral health services to potential funding partners, access training and technical assistance, and gain exposure to behavioral health leaders and philanthropic organizations in their respective region. This is an invited-only event for NNED CBOs and is not transferrable to other organizations.

Over the past several years, behavioral health providers and education systems have recognized the value of the National CLAS Standards in advancing behavioral health equity. To advance this effort, SAMHSA collaborated with the Office of Minority Health to develop this Behavioral Health Guide which underscores the ways in which the National CLAS Standards can improve access to behavioral health care, promote quality behavioral health programs and practice, and ultimately reduce persistent disparities in mental health and substance use treatment for underserved minority communities.
