SUMMARY:Small Group Dialogue | Equity Grounded Leadership Competencies
DESCRIPTION:Time zone information: Focus group starts at 8:00am PST / 9:00am MST / 10:00am CST / 11:00am EST \n\n\n\nBehavioral health leadership\, historically and presently\, lacks diversity and fails to reflect the populations being served. With a new generation of leaders emerging and increasing attention on the traumatic impacts of racism in behavioral health\, systemic change efforts must be action-oriented\, grounded in equity\, and trauma-informed.  \n\n\n\nIn 2021\, the College for Behavioral Health Leadership (CBHL) hosted leadership conversations\, participated in key informant interviews\, and conducted surveys to understand experiences and perspectives related to equity-grounded leadership.  Based on this work\, we know leaders of color report a need for intentional focus on equity and anti-racism\, trusted leaders in positions of influence\, and mentorship to develop leaders who embody equity and represent the communities served.  \n\n\n\nAs we work for meaningful systems change and measurable action to transform behavioral health leadership\, we are seeking leaders to join us in conversations that will inform the core competencies for the CBHL Equity-Grounded Leadership Fellow Program.  The innovative\, new program is designed to shift the focus of cross-sector behavioral health leaders to equity and anti-racism as the foundation for systems transformation.  These 90-minute discussions will center around the defining characteristics of equity-grounded leadership to inform the core competencies of the Fellow Program.  \n\n\n\nWe are seeking behavioral health leaders of all levels to join these conversations. We are particularly interested in co-creating the Fellow Program’s core competencies with leaders of color.  \n\n\n\nIf you are interested in contributing to this innovative project and connecting with peers during one of the equity-grounded leadership discussion sessions\, please register today!  Participants will receive a modest Amazon gift card for their time. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\nProject Team and Focus Group Facilitators\n\n\n\n\nCrystal L.

She has served in several positions elevating equity in the behavioral health space. Her interests include broader\, interdisciplinary topics related to public health communication\, population health\, and health disparities. Dr. Brandow centers her work around Wellness First\, and aims to bring an authentic\, impactful\, innovative voice to behavioral health.  \n\n\n\n\n\nEbony Chambers\n\n\n\nCurriculum and Facilitation \n\n\n\nMs. Chambers has over 18 years of experience working with issues of social justice\, equity\, education\, mental health and diversity.
