SUMMARY:Webinar | Transformational Systems Change and Impact through Data
DESCRIPTION:Do you feel like there’s something essential that’s being missed in your data and reporting projects?  Does it seem like you’re always stuck spinning your wheels\, or that you end up focused on details and missing the big picture?As a leader\, how can you help your organization move beyond using data for operations\, productivity\, and finance projects\, and start using data to fuel transformational change?In this webinar\, we’ll share the stages of development that organizations experience on the way to data-informed decision-making\, and how to help your team overcome the obstacles at each crossroads.  Improving your effectiveness with operational data is important\, and it’s easy to get stuck responding to every new external reporting requirement and never get around to looking at data that really matters.We also know that an organization can be really good at operational\, financial\, and compliance data and still miss the big picture.  Data processes that are well-designed to deliver required reports or monitor productivity aren’t going to naturally yield transformational data.Data that will drive systemic change\, requires something different\, including: \n\n\n\n\nBold prioritization\, time that is set aside for deep thinking\, and being clear about what isn’t going to get done.\n\n\n\nExtending your trauma-informed lens to your data analysis conversations\, in how you talk about data and how you roll out changes.\n\n\n\nRecognizing emotions around imperfection\, noticing and managing cognitive dissonance\, and dealing with avoidance.\n\n\n\nBringing stakeholders to the table with opportunities for meaningful input and creativity\, especially people who don’t think of themselves as ‘data people’.\n\n\n\n\nThe time for these changes is now – if you’re on a quest to transform our system\, we hope you’ll join us to think about how data could support you on that mission!  \n\n\n\nThis event is open to all! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen: April 5 at 10:00am PT / 11:00am MT / 12:00pm CT / 1:00pm ET \n\n\n\nPresenter:  \n\n\n\nGinger Bandeen\, LCSW | Founder & CEO\, Mission Driven Data \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresenter Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGinger Bandeen\, LCSW  \n\n\n\nGinger founded Mission Driven Data after a 15-year career in clinical social work\, quality improvement\, advocacy\, and program development in the community behavioral health field.  Ginger is passionate about making data analysis accessible for clinicians – helping people who would say they aren’t “data people” discover joy and excitement in the data analysis process.   \n\n\n\nGinger is committed to combining her understanding of data with her clinical perspective to optimize data and information systems in community agencies\, with the end goal of supporting better outcomes and system transformation.

SUMMARY:CBHL Member Roundtable: The Role of Families and Relationships 
DESCRIPTION:At our February Member Roundtable\, Deconstructing Non-Compliance and Exploring a Counterargument to Forced Treatment\, the role of families and/or close relationships was raised in the context of conversation related to the conflation of public health with public safety issues. The deep divide around these important issues seem to preempt potential collaboration that could strengthen wanted and needed change. For our March Roundtable\, we are going to continue this thread of conversation and further explore: \n\n\n\n\nAreas of alignment where people or places have concerns about mental health or public safety\n\n\n\nOpportunities to bridge the gap\n\n\n\nThe idea that investing in families and relationships throughout recovery is essential to keeping people out of forced situations\n\n\n\n\nFor this Roundtable\, we will not have dedicated panelists\, rather\, will seek the expertise of Roundtable participants to frame the dialogue.  We look forward to a robust conversation. \n\n\n\n**If you missed the February Roundtable – Deconstructing Non-Compliance and Exploring a Counterargument to Forced Treatment we encourage you to view the summary. \n\n\n\nThis Roundtable is for CBHL Members! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen:  March 23 at 10:00am PST / 11:00am MST / 12:00pm CT / 1:00pm ET \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Webinar | Equity-Grounded Leadership Fellow Program: A Co-Produced Approach to Behavioral Health System Transformation
DESCRIPTION:Register Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeaders must embody equity as an operating principle – as a mindset – to transform behavioral health systems. But what does this mean\, and how is it operationalized for leaders? \n\n\n\nSignificant gaps exist in advancing behavioral health equity\, with underrepresented\, marginalized\, and oppressed groups continuing to have disparate outcomes. Major system-level changes are in progress that will require behavioral health leaders be prepared to disrupt the status quo by addressing the pervasive inequities that continue to plague communities across the country. It is essential to support\, develop\, and orient leaders to a new approach to systems transformation\, one where leaders grow and acquire the confidence\, skills\, and knowledge necessary to disrupt the current harmful system practices\, policies\, and cultures. Without this co-produced intervention\, we risk continuing to fail individuals\, families\, and communities who face these inequities every day. \n\n\n\nThe Equity-Grounded Leadership (EGL) Fellow Program\, developed and piloted from 2022 to 2023\, is designed to shift the focus of cross-sector behavioral health leaders to intersectionality\, equity\, and anti-racism for behavioral health systems transformation. In this webinar\, we will share the journey to co-produce the EGL Fellow Program; explore the five Principles of Change for Equity-Grounded Leaders\, including the knowledge\, values and skills\, and operational practice behaviors for each principle; and celebrate examples of equity-grounded leadership in action.  \n\n\n\nThis event is open to all! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen: March 16 at 11:00am PT / 12:00pm MT / 1:00pm CT / 2:00pm ET \n\n\n\nSpeakers:  \n\n\n\nDr. Jei Africa | Director\, Marin County (CA) Behavioral Health and Recovery Services  \n\n\n\nDavid Auzenne\, MPH | Senior Fellow for Health Equity\, Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute \n\n\n\nBrad Barfield\, MBA | Vice President\, Envision:You \n\n\n\nDr. Crystal L.

SUMMARY:CBHL Member Roundtable:  Deconstructing Non-Compliance and Exploring a Counterargument to Forced Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Register Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom New York to California\, policies are being implemented which lead to the increased use of forced treatment orders\, reverting to policies of years past.  Attempts to address community challenges around homelessness\, poverty\, and crime are often conflated with mental health challenges and regarded as public safety versus public health issues.  This leads to strategies resulting in involuntary hospitalizations and incarcerations.  There are numerous research findings demonstrating the damaging\, discriminating\, and inequitable effects of forced treatment\, so why are policymakers reverting to these policies? Join the dialogue on February 23 at 9am PT / 10am MT / 11am CT / 12pm ET to de-construct non-compliance and explore a counterargument to forced treatment.  \n\n\n\n**If you missed the January 12 Roundtable – The History of Mental Health Reform and the Recovery (R)Evolution\, we encourage you to view it here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis Roundtable is for CBHL Members! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen:  February 23 at 9:00am PST / 10:00am MST / 11:00am CST / 12:00pm EST \n\n\n\nSubject Matter Experts: \n\n\n\nCherene Caraco | CEO\, Promise Resource Network \n\n\n\nKimberley Blair | Director of Public Policy & Advocacy\, National Alliance on Mental Illness of NYC (NAMI-NYC) \n\n\n\nKeris Jän Myrick | Vice President of Partnerships\, Inseparable; Podcast Host\, Unapologetically Black Unicorns \n\n\n\nVesper Moore | COO\, Kiva Centers; Indigenous activist\, trainer\, writer\, and psychiatric survivor \n\n\n\nLeslie Napper | Disability Rights California \n\n\n\nJodi Nerell | Director\, Local Mental Health Engagement\, Mental Health and Addiction Care\, Sutter Health \n\n\n\nHarvey Rosenthal | CEO\, New York Association of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:CBHL Member Roundtable:  The Intersection of Poverty\, Lived Experience\, and Mental Health 
DESCRIPTION:Poverty is one of the most significant social determinants of mental health\, intersecting with all other determinants – housing\, community conditions\, race and ethnicity\, immigration status\, access to care\, and the built environment.   Poverty can cause poor mental health through social stresses\, stigma\, and trauma.  And\, poor mental health can lead to impoverishment through loss of employment or fragmentation of relationships.    \n\n\n\nWe can’t respond effectively to our client’s mental and substance use concerns unless we understand their life circumstances\, including the impact of poverty on their lives.  Some communities have piloted efforts like guaranteed income or child tax credits. The Housing First model has proven to reduce housing instability.  Yet poverty continues to be a barrier.   \n\n\n\nJoin us for a CBHL Member Roundtable on January 19 at 9am PT / 12pm ET to learn and share comprehensive strategies to addressing poverty at the community\, state\, and federal level.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis Roundtable is exclusive for CBHL Members! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen:  January 19 at 9:00am PST / 10:00am MST / 11:00am CST / 12:00pm EST \n\n\n\nSubject Matter Experts: \n\n\n\nJei Africa\, PhD | Assistant Director Human Services\, County of San Mateo \n\n\n\nLarissa Estes\, DrPH | Executive Director\, ALL IN Alameda County \n\n\n\nSenchel Matthews\, MCRP | President\, Southeast Regional Development Corporation \n\n\n\nDarryl McDavid | Program Manager\, NET Growth Movement\, Bay Area Community Services \n\n\n\nGarrett Moran\, PhD | Professor of Health Policy & Behavioral Medicine and Psychiatry at West Virginia University School of Medicine (Retired) \n\n\n\nKathy Sternbach\, MBA\, MEd | Partner\, TriWest Group\, LLC \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!
