The Network of Care utilizes the Internet for social good by providing fast and easy access to comprehensive community services, information, support, and assistance on a localized level to millions of people nationwide. The goal of the Network of Care is to ensure "No Wrong Door" exists for those in need of social services and to provide trusted information for anyone interested in making better decisions about the health and well-being of themselves and those around them. Today, the Network of Care is the largest government-sponsored, community-based online platform in the country. With hundreds of websites covering over half the nation and more than two decades of experience, the Network of Care is uniquely positioned to assist state and county governments across the country. Whether it is the opioid crisis, access to local information and resources, emergency information, basic needs, online training, or care coordination, the Network of Care can help. Beyond Mental Health, the Network of Care offers portals for: Seniors & People with Disabilities; Developmental Disabilities; Domestic Violence; Children and Families; Prisoner Reentry Services; Veterans, Service Members & Their Families; and Public Health Assessment and Wellness. There is simply no other competitive program with the Network of Care’s breadth and depth of features, functionality, and flexibility necessary to meet the needs of our communities at the state and local levels. The Network of Care was specifically recommended to all states and counties by the President’s New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, and has been approved for funding by name in the most recent SAMHSA guidance for the Mental Health Block Grant under the American Rescue Plan. The Network of Care is provided in partnership with the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors and the National Association of County Behavioral Health & Developmental Disability Directors.
