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: 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
