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 URL:https://www.leaders4health.org/event/cbhl-member-roundtable-exploring-involuntary-commitments-save-the-date/ LOCATION:Online Only\, United States CATEGORIES:Members Only 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:20230215T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20230215T120000 DTSTAMP:20260522T113544 CREATED:20230112T200949Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230130T114418Z UID:10000250-1676458800-1676462400@www.leaders4health.org SUMMARY:CBHL 2023 Member Meet and Greet DESCRIPTION:Register Here!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nReady to meet your CBHL colleagues? \n\n\n\nInterested in contributing to ideas for upcoming CBHL activities? \n\n\n\nThe College for Behavioral Health Leadership is a place for leaders to collaborate to empower communities to thrive. We convene leaders to share expertise\, cross-pollinate ideas\, provide hands-on experiences\, and develop actionable skills. We are committed to equity\, believe recovery is the expectation\, and strive for wellbeing across the lifespan. \n\n\n\nOur members are individuals and organizations representing emerging and experienced leaders from both public and private cross-sector organizations whose work either focuses directly on or intersects with behavioral health. We define leader not by title\, but by the ability and deep desire to effect change. Our membership reflects a diversity of experience\, expertise\, and perspective\, and serve as active participants in our work.  \n\n\n\nAnd we are so excited to get to know you this year!

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!

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:20260522T113545 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 webinar is open to all. \n\n\n\nThis webinar will discuss the history and future of the Soteria model\, an evidence-based alternative to acute hospitalization for persons experiencing psychiatric crises. Soteria provides intensive support in a communal residential setting with emphasis on humane interactions and understanding. \n\n\n\nReplications of the Soteria model have been few and far between since the remarkable success of the original Soteria experiment\, spearheaded by Loren Mosher and Alma Menn in the 1970s. Recently\, a wide-ranging renewal of the Soteria model has taken place in Israel with very positive outcomes. \n\n\n\nThe need for alternatives to police intervention and hospitalization for crisis stabilization\, has led to a development of short term residential facilities in many US states. Following the success of the Parachute Project\, New York State has been a pioneer in promoting the establishment of such residential alternatives with an eye on further expansion. This discussion will consider how the Soteria model would be uniquely impactful in New York State. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen: June 9 at 10:00am PDT / 11:00am MDT / 12:00pm CDT / 1:00pm EDT \n\n\n\nSpeakers: \n\n\n\nPesach Lichtenberg | Founder\, Soteria Isreal; Psychiatrist based in Jerusalem \n\n\n\nVoyce Hendrix | Director\, Soteria San Jose (1976-78); Social Worker\, St. Paul\, MN \n\n\n\nYana Jacobs | Counselor\, Soteria San Jose; Social Worker\, Santa Cruz\, CA \n\n\n\nDaniel Bergner | Contributing Writer\, New York Times; Author of Upcoming Book – The Mind and the Moon – My Brother\, the Science of Our Brains and the Search for Our Psyches \n\n\n\nElan Cohen | Clinical Psychology Doctoral Candidate and Former Peer Specialist with the Parachute Program \n\n\n\nPeter Stastny | Psychiatric Consultant; Co-Founder of International Network Towards Alternatives and Rights-Based Supports \n\n\n\nThis event is free and open to all! \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!

This webinar is open to all. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe fruit of a lifetime of expertise and a global quest for answers\, Healing: Our Path from Mental Illness to Mental Health is a hopeful\, actionable account and achievable vision for us all in this time of mental health crisis. \n\n\n\nDr. Insel\, former Director of the National Institute of Mental Health\, left his position atop the mental health research world to investigate all that was broken—and what a better path to mental health might look like. He found that we do have approaches that work\, both in the U.S. and globally. Mental illnesses are medical problems\, but he discovers that the cures for the crisis are not just medical\, but social. This path to healing\, built upon what he calls the three Ps (people\, place\, and purpose)\, is more straightforward than we might imagine.

This webinar is open to all. \n\n\n\nThe term co-production refers to a way of working where service providers and users\, work together to reach a collective outcome. The approach is value-driven and built on the principle that those who are affected by a service are best placed to help design it. \n\n\n\nCo-production is an approach to decision-making and service design rather than a specific method. It stems from the recognition that if organizations are to deliver successful services\, they must understand the needs of their users and engage them closely in the design and delivery of those services.  \n\n\n\nCo-production rejects the traditional understanding of service users as dependents of public services\, and instead redefines the service/ user relationship as one of co-dependency and collaboration. Just like users need the support from public services\, service providers need the insights and expertise of its users in order to make the right decisions and build effective services. In practice\, it means that those who are affected by a service are not only consulted\, but are part of the conception\, design\, steering\, and management of services. \n\n\n\nUsing real-life examples\, this interactive discussion session will share learning from the theories\, tensions\, challenges and benefits of co-production in health practice and research. Among other areas\, we will collectively discuss power inequalities\, lived experience vs data to inform decision-making\, and ethical considerations.  \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\nUnderstand the theories and policy drivers of undertaking co-production in health research and services.Consider the real-life implementation challenges of co-production in practice within current health systems and contexts. Develop an understanding how leaders can support co-production in future healthcare.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen: May 24\, 2022 at 9:00am PDT / 10:00am MDT / 11:00am CDT / 12:00pm EDT \n\n\n\nPresented by: \n\n\n\nDr. Corinna Hackmann\, Clinical Psychologist/Adult Services Research Development Lead | Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust\, UK \n\n\n\nDr. Bonnie Teague\, Head of Research and Associate Professor in Mental Health Services Research | Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust and University of East Anglia \n\n\n\nThis event is free and open to all! \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\nDr. Corinna Hackmann \n\n\n\nThe research we develop is clinically applied and has co-production at its heart. Meaningful research development should encompass a multitude of perspectives and empower everybody. This has included work on diagnosis\, peer support\, autistic spectrum disorders\, eating disorders and discharge from inpatient settings. We have worked in collaboration with the World Health Organisation on a paper published in the Lancet Psychiatry on the need to include service-user perspectives in diagnostic guidelines. \n\n\n\nI am also interested in co-creativity\, the arts and language. We are currently working on a project to explore the impact of the language on people who have experienced mental health issues. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Bonnie Teague \n\n\n\nI work across all areas relating to mental health research and lead the strategic programmes of work relating to research within the NHS. \n\n\n\nMy specific research interests are in mental health inequalities\, global health services and social determinants of mental health. I am also Associate Professor in mental health services research at the University of East Anglia\, and act as supervisor for nursing\, PhD and psychology trainees. \n\n\n\nI am passionate about how research can be used as a tool of education and learning for everyone and can also support principles of health equity by challenging the status quo through high-quality evidence.  My current research focuses on supporting marginalised health groups to engage in health intervention development.

Utilizing culturally-relevant health coaches and peer leaders to support diverse and transdiagnostic populations\, OSW represents a next-generation behavioral health solution and a new way of organizing clinical delivery services. \n\n\n\nCome learn about this innovative approach\, explore implementation models in behavioral health\, ask questions\, and get an experiential taste of the OSW methodology.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen: May 18\, 2022 at 10:00am PDT / 11:00am MDT / 12:00pm CDT / 1:00pm EDT \n\n\n\nPresented by: \n\n\n\nElizabeth Markle\, Ph.D.\, Co-Founder\, Executive Director | Open Source Wellness \n\n\n\nBenjamin Emmert-Aronson\, Ph.D.\, Co-Founder\, Director of Operations | Open Source Wellness \n\n\n\nThis event is free and open to all! \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\nElizabeth Markle\, Ph.D.\, is a licensed psychologist\, speaker\, writer\, researcher\, and Associate Professor of Community Mental Health at California Institute of Integral Studies.
