Alaska's Comprehensive Integrated Mental Health Program Plan

2025-2029 Comp Plan

Released in October 2024, Strengthening the System II: Alaska's Comprehensive Integrated Mental Health Program Plan, often referred to as the "Comp Plan", aims to foster collaboration and leverage resources effectively. This plan includes a joint letter from the leaders of the effort, an executive summary, and ten areas of focus. Strengthening the System II sets out priorities for the next five years, guiding planning and funding decisions.

The five-year plan is meticulously crafted to meet the service needs of  Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority (Trust) beneficiaries– Alaskans affected by mental illnesses, intellectual and developmental disabilities, substance use disorders, Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia, substance use disorders, and traumatic brain injuries. Each area of focus addresses specific objectives and strategies designed to strengthen the system of care, with an additional focus on prevention and early intervention.  

Key aspects of this plan:

• Focuses on prevention and taking action early
• Helps people at risk by building strength and addressing trauma
• Offers a clear plan to improve systems and practices
• Creates long-term strategies that link efforts in communities to personal changes, benefiting individuals and all Alaskans

The 2024 Scorecard includes new measures and stories that align with Strengthening the System and is now designed to match the Results-Based Accountability (RBA) framework.
