Benchmarks

Benchmarks is a non-profit association of provider agencies advocating for quality and accountability among human service providers so that North Carolina’s children, adults and families can realize their full potential, contribute to their communities and live healthy lives. Who We Are: Quality Agencies Delivering Results
With nearly 90 member agencies, Benchmarks has an extensive vetting process

for membership that includes national accreditation, good standing reviews from DHHS and provider references.

• On the ground experience of our nearly ninety provider members and their leadership in delivering high quality services within the current policy and practice landscape;
• A unique combination of over 100 years of collective staff experience translating research to practice, conducting policy advocacy, and providing services in the fields of mental health, child welfare, developmental disabilities, and substance abuse. Our activities focus on :
• Partnership development across the continuum of care at the state and local levels, including a strong, proactive partnership with DHHS and the legislature to improve outcomes for children, adults and families through high quality, research-based services;
• A professional education program serving providers across North Carolina through on-line and on-site training;

Prevention is powerful. Early identification and intervention in behavioral health and child welfare can change life trajectories for children and families. Benchmarks advocates for policies that prioritize early screening, integrated care, and preventative services; because investing early reduces crisis later and builds healthier communities for the future.
