SUMMARY:CBHL Leadership Community | Supporting the Uptake of Behavioral Health Apps and Technology  
DESCRIPTION:11:00 am PT / 12:00 pm MT / 1:00 pm CT / 2:00 pm ET \n\n\n\n\nRegister Now\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAre you grappling with how to address unmet or undermet needs among specific population groups in your community or organization?  \n\n\n\nHave you considered the possibility of integrating behavioral health apps or new technologies into services?   \n\n\n\nDo you feel stuck by how to choose the right technology\, or how to implement successfully?    \n\n\n\nThe increasing demand for behavioral health services\, coupled with challenges in the workforce\, creates a compelling reason to take a closer look at forward-thinking solutions.  Behavioral health apps and other technologies have the potential to supplement existing services by increasing access and engagement among specific communities or population groups.   This quarterly CBHL Leadership Community series is designed for any CBHL member interested in the successful integration of behavioral health apps and technology as a complement to existing practices.  You are encouraged to register and join the full series.  \n\n\n\nBackground:  \n\n\n\nSignificant interest in our November 2023 webinar\, Revolutionizing Behavioral Health: The Role of Behavioral Health Apps in Addressing the Workforce Crisis\, sparked a follow up roundtable dialogue where CBHL members delved into the potential of behavioral health apps as a transformative technology supporting both mental and physical wellbeing. Participants explored challenges faced by organizations in determining how to select the right technology\, considerations for how to implement as a complement to existing services\, and additional support members might need to feel more informed and better equipped to successfully integrate behavioral health apps and technology into existing practices.   \n\n\n\n\nWhat is a CBHL Leadership Community?  \n\n\n\nCBHL Leadership Communities connect leaders\, organizations\, and systems eager to learn and work across sectors in pursuit of a shared goal.  \n\n\n\nWhat is the purpose of a CBHL Leadership Community? \n\n\n\nCBHL leadership communities are created based on member interest with a focus on a specific topic or leadership population. They are recurring over a specific period of time and open to all CBHL members.  \n\n\n\n\nTo improve knowledge and skills of behavioral health leaders through collaboration\, the exchange of ideas\, and professional dialogue. \n\n\n\nTo facilitate informed and collaborative leadership for improved individual\, organizational\, and community outcomes.\n\n\n\nEncourage organic connections among CBHL members through ongoing collaboration around a shared interest. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGuest Speakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Mohr received his PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Arizona.
