Scattergood launches Behavioral Health Idea Exchange

The Thomas Scattergood Behavioral Health Foundation is spearheading an initiative to align all behavioral health organizations in the Philadelphia region through Twitter.

The purpose of the initiative is to enhance communication, to increase the exchange of ideas, and to encourage the sharing of best practices in a simple and expeditious fashion.

The goal is to create an interconnected network that provides each organization access to a greater variety of information than would be available otherwise.

The new network will be called the Behavioral Health Idea Exchange. The foundation believes that there are numerous behavioral health organizations in the Delaware Valley and that many of them currently engage in cutting-edge practices that span the spectrum from service provision to policymaking. The entire region will benefit from increased collaboration, and a social media platform such as Twitter makes this collaborative effort easier than ever before.

Members of the foundation staff have Twitter expertise and are available to assist any organization that needs or desires assistance in using Twitter effectively. All that is required to participate in the Behavioral Health Idea Exchange is to use and to follow the hashtag #BHIdea on Twitter.
