Welcome to the website for the Strategic Initiative. The path to the Strategic Initiative started in the fall of 2011 with the creation of the Tennessee Co-Occurring Disorders Collaborative (TNCODC) to focus on the impact of co-occurring disorders within the state. This vision has now expanded to include the Collaborative’s Strategic Initiative.
The mission for the Strategic Initiative is to enhance Tennessee’s Co-Occurring Disorders System of Care by effecting organizational change by continuously improving program capability, ensuring sustained workforce development, and complementing the state’s current investment in treatment and recovery for individuals with co-occurring disorders. To effect organizational change, the Strategic Initiative utilizes a top-down and bottom-up approach to provide the needed momentum for the change process.
