The Negley Awards are a series of cash grants presented annually to provider organizations who demonstrate excellence in risk management practices. They recognize outstanding achievements in risk management by behavioral healthcare organizations and offer the opportunity for the winners to share their risk management strategies with the whole of the mental health community. The winning organizations are selected from the applications reviewed by the Board of Directors of the Mental Health Risk Retention Group. Since the Award programs inception, more than one-quarter of a million dollars has been awarded to outstanding behavioral healthcare organizations that reduce risk to clients, staff and community.
