Programs

Benchmarks is an alliance of 85+ member organizations whose missions, generally, are to support north carolina's most vulnerable children, adults, and families, who experience neglect, abuse, and/or require treatment for mental health-related disorders, intellectural/developmental disabilities, or substance abuse. Through the collective voice of its members, benchmarks again this year advocated for and promoted quality welfare services for children, adults, and families throughout the state. Benchmarks' mission is accomplished through a unified voice, collective experience, training, sharing best practices, collection of data, and partnership with the state department of health and human services leadership. This year, as in past years, benchmarks was integral in the prevention of significant state funding cuts for mh/idd/sas and child welfare services. Benchmarks sponsored legislation in this year's legislative session that directly supported services of its membership and benefited north carolina's children, adults, and families.
