Other coalition accomplishments include: establishing criminal justice, crisis response, ACE (project materials: ACE Task Force Mission and Goals, ACE Task Force Pamphlet), universal screening, and mental health task forces; implementing universal screenings for depression at the University of Montana-Western Student Health Center; and successfully hosting a two-day behavioral health summit which was facilitated by the National Council for Behavioral Health and will continue as an annual event.
