PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

Vermont Department of Health

Health Equity Training for the Behavioral-Health Workforce 

(2023 – 2024)

Scale Strategic Solutions equipped more than 100 substance use disorder and mental health professionals with a rigorous, evidence-based curriculum that blended online learning modules with live virtual and in-person workshops. Training attendees left with a practical command of cultural intelligence and clear, community-driven tactics to close service gaps. During the program’s implementation window, Vermont recorded a 22% reduction in opioid overdose fatalities, underscoring the training’s measurable return on public investment. 

Ohio Department of Mental Health & Addiction Services

Access to Wellness Evaluation 

(2024 – 2025)

Scale Strategic Solutions completed a statewide, mixed-methods assessment of the Access to Wellness initiative, which links adults with severe and persistent mental illness to coordinated recovery supports across aging, criminal justice, homelessness, and developmental disability systems. By pairing detailed process maps with six-month outcome reports and story-driven case studies, the evaluation surfaced initiative results and clear recommendations. 

Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

High-Value Education Beyond High School Study 

(2022 – 2024)

Scale Strategic Solutions delivered a comprehensive landscape analysis of post-secondary value and affordability in Ohio. The team translated dense data into plain-language policy briefs—which circulated among legislators, college leaders, and community advocates— equipping key constituents to press for strategies that work.

Butler County Health Needs Assessment 

(2023)

Scale Strategic Solutions delivered a data-rich, community-grounded of Butler County’s health needs for bi3 and TriHealth. By marrying rigorous analysis of existing datasets with interviews, community meetings, and focus groups, the team produced a roadmap that now guides BI3’s grant-making. The findings informed a competitive RFP process that has already steered $1.25 million toward the county’s highest-impact health initiatives.
