To date\, the collaborative has produced two reports\, the first presenting the big picture around racial and ethnic equity and behavioral health as an introduction to the topic; the second report focuses on the workforce\, featuring a breakdown of the racial and ethnic composition of Ohio’s behavioral health providers and recommendations for improvement in data collection\, policy\, diversity in education\, and more. Two final reports are in-process and will focus on treatment and funding. \n\n\n\nJoin us to learn how you might replicate this in your own communities\, including rationale for use of data to advance racial and ethnic equity\, how to create a team structure and work processes to gather and analyze data\, and the ways in which the findings are already making an impact in Ohio. \n\n\n\nThis event is open to all! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen: June 21 at 12:00pm PT / 1:00pm MT / 2:00pm CT / 3:00pm ET \n\n\n\nPresenters: \n\n\n\nDr. Cory E.

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.

We are also on the precipice of significant and complex behavioral health systems changes – such as the implementation of 988 – giving us the opportunity to identify inequities and eradicate them through equity-grounded leadership.   \n\n\n\nEquity-Grounded Leadership stems from the understanding that the current systems are unjust. It empowers leaders to mobilize themselves and others to create positive change. Equity-grounded leadership is anti-racist\, person-centered\, recovery-oriented\, trauma-informed\, and acknowledges that individuals have different experiences\, abilities\, needs\, and strengths. It allows leaders to account for those and develop strategies for decision making to include all voices.  \n\n\n\nPlease join Peg’s Foundation to learn about Equity-Grounded Leadership and how this foundational principle of leadership can be applied in your organization\, community or region.   \n\n\n\nSession Objectives: \n\n\n\nExplore what behavioral health equity means and what this means for leadersLearn how one organization is working to support the development of equity-grounded leadershipDiscuss the principles of equity-grounded leadership and how you can apply them in your community\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen: November 17 at 9:00am PST / 10:00am MST / 11:00am CST / 12:00pm EST \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\nEbony Chambers | Chief Equity & Partnership Officer at Stanford Sierra Youth and Families and lead facilitator for the College for Behavioral Health Leadership’s Equity-Grounded Leadership Fellow Program \n\n\n\nHolly Salazar | Chief Executive Officer for the College for Behavioral Health Leadership URL:https://www.leaders4health.org/event/lunch-and-learn-series-equity-as-the-foundation-for-behavioral-health-leadership-2/ LOCATION:Online Only\, United States CATEGORIES:Public ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://leaders4health-offload-media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/06152746/LI_Profile-Bug-01-small.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20221115T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20221115T130000 DTSTAMP:20260522T055653 CREATED:20221021T154801Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221021T160130Z UID:10000244-1668513600-1668517200@www.leaders4health.org SUMMARY:Webinar | Re-Imagining Systems to Foster Wellbeing Everywhere DESCRIPTION:Register Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis Webinar is held in partnership with the International Initiative for Mental Health Leadership to showcase international innovations. \n\n\n\nImagine a model of care resting on a set of principles that\, when adopted to the fullest\, could diplomatically disrupt systems and shift paradigms\, change organizational structures\, create fresh and inclusive workplace cultures\, and transform the clinical care experience for every person and community.  In this webinar\, we will explore Stepped Care 2.0 as it disrupts the status quo and shifts systems\, organizations\, and the way people work together and value one another with the ultimate goal of fostering well-being everywhere. \n\n\n\nFor CBHL and IIMHL Members: A member roundtable will follow this webinar to explore the following questions in an interactive environment: \n\n\n\nWhat are your greatest pain points for the care system\, leadership\, and/or workforce?What have you found to be most successful in reforming mental health care at a system level?What are the key ingredients for implementing and sustaining an accessible care system?What is it about SC2.0 that creates shifts in thinking and approaches?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen: November 15 at 11:00am PDT / 12:00pm MDT / 1:00pm CDT / 2:00pm EDT \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresenters\n\n\n\n\nDr. Peter Cornish is an Honorary Research Professor at Memorial University\, the Co-Director of Student Mental Health at the University of California Berkeley.

This presentation will cover the framework and components of Implementation Accelerator. \n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\nAt the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n Identify common barriers to successful project implementation​ Describe skills needed to successfully lead project implementation​ Review evidence-based principles to develop leadership skills​Outline project-based\, skill development process to build​ implementation leaders​\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImplementation Accelerator Office Hours: \n\n\n\n\nThere is a hunger to talk about and problem solve complex implementation challenges with other leaders. Implementation Accelerator Office Hours invites behavioral health leaders to bring a use case to discuss and process together with colleagues as a small group. \n\n\n\n\nThe following themes will shape these conversations: \n\n\n\nTechnical vs. Adaptive Leadership (October 4\, 2022)Facilitating Productive Planning Sessions (October 19\, 2022)Moving from Problems to Solutions (November 2\, 2022)\n\n\n\n*Implementation Accelerator Office Hours are exclusive to CBHL Members.
