Statewide Initiatives
To better understand the areas of greatest impact, we have identified and partnered with schools, community organizations, and healthcare systems on initiatives to improve the diagnosis and treatment of mood disorders and enhance suicide prevention efforts.
The CDRC has created two community networks that provide invaluable partnership in our statewide initiatives:
Mood Disorders Network/ Pediatric Mood Disorders Network
Comprised of clinical and community members to address gaps in the screening, diagnosis, treatment, and management of depression and other mood disorders.
Our projects include:
- VitalSign6

Risk and Resilience Network
Comprised of local schools, colleges, and youth community organizations with a focus on preventing depression and suicide through education and engagement.
