MI Mind

Established in 2022, the Michigan Mental Health Innovation Network for Clinical Design (MI Mind) is a statewide partnership with providers and physician organizations. The goal is to prevent suicide and improve outcomes by reducing suicide attempts and deaths. MI Mind offers access to and engagement in evidence-based services for providers and reduces expensive costs for patients. The Collaborative Quality Initiative (CQI) will start with a focus on suicide prevention and expand to include other behavioral health domains, such as depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. Support for MI Mind is provided by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan as part of the BCBSM Value Partnerships program.
