A new year. A new administration. A behavioral health pandemic within a lingering COVID pandemic. Struggling communities. A renewed sense of urgency.
On January 28, The College for Behavioral Health Leadership (CBHL) hosted an important leadership conversation: Behavioral Health and the New Administration – A Call to Action. This dialogue featured five multi-sector senior leaders from the behavioral health field addressing major needs and key challenges that face the new Biden-Harris administration, and the potential roles the new administration could serve in helping to address these needs. The summary of this conversation identifies key themes and outlines opportunity for further discussion and action.
I invite you to review the recording of the conversation and summary report here. As a neutral convener, the College for Behavioral Health Leadership is in a unique position to lead future dialogue to sharpen the concept of controversial or underdeveloped issues to work toward a common understanding. Stay tuned for updates on future events to be scheduled, where we will dive deeper into 3-4 high priority topics. They will also be posted here on our website as dates are confirmed.
