Giving back to the only Industry we insure is something we take very seriously. Negley Associates is committed to furthering  best practices and the overall Risk Management efforts in the behavioral healthcare field. The Negley Awards are one way in which we encourage organizations in the industry to share successes amongst their peers in the hopes of providing safer, more effective and overall better care to   the clients they serve.  For over 20 years, we have provided a platform as incentive to allow different behavioral healthcare organizations, across the entire spectrum of size, scope and geography, to come together and share their programs and ideas.

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.
