About us
Founded in 1959 and based in Alexandria, VA, the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors (NASMHPD) is a private, not-for-profit 501 (c) (3) organization representing the state executives responsible for the $41 billion public mental health service delivery system serving 7.5 million people annually in all 50 states, 6 territories, and the District of Columbia. NASMHPD (pronounced “NASH-bid”) is the only national association to represent state mental health commissioners/directors and their agencies. NASMHPD represents the viewpoints and concerns of state mental health agencies to Congress, federal agencies and other national organizations by tracking legislation, leading collaborative efforts, initiating proposals to strengthen, streamline and simplify federal mental health programs and regulations, and educating members of Congress about the complex issues facing state mental health agencies. NASMHPD provides members with the opportunity to share state-to-state expertise and experiences through multiple venues. Further, NASMHPD provides the opportunity for states to receive technical assistance, consultation, and training based on the needs requested by the state.

Early or first-episode psychosis (FEP) refers to the first period after a person experiences symptoms of psychosis. More than 100,000 people experience FEP every year in the U.S. – many in their teens and 20s – with a lack of information and limited access to care leading to poorer outcomes for individuals and their communities. Fortunately, Coordinated Specialty Care (CSC) is a powerful, evidence-based solution that can transform the lives of individuals experiencing FEP. This multi-disciplinary, team-based, person-centered approach involves several core components: psychotherapy, medication management, family education and peer support, service coordination, and supported employment and education. Despite its effectiveness, today in the U.S., it is estimated that only 10-25% of individuals experiencing FEP have access to a CSC program. Our latest research, a collaborative effort between @NAMI, @National Council for Mental Wellbeing, and @National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors, and @McKinsey Health Institute, illustrates the social and economic potential of scaling what works. If 90% of individuals in the U.S. experiencing FEP received CSC, it could not only improve the lives of up to 800,000 individuals – as well as their families and caregivers – but also generate system savings of up to $140 billion over the next 10 years.
