12:00 pm PT / 1:00 pm MT / 2:00 pm CT / 3:00 pm ET
As a leader, are you:
- Ready to cultivate an understanding of how inequity is perpetuated by and in behavioral health systems?
- Interested in how to practice intersectional allyship?
- Curious about integrating data equity frameworks and culturally responsive approaches?
- Aware of the importance of engaging in co-production and community-driven practices, but need a little support in doing so?
- Prepared to demonstrate transformational leadership to improve communities?
If the answer is yes to any of the above, then this leadership community is for you!
Join us together with Ebony Chambers, CBHL’s Director of Equity-Grounded Leadership, at our leadership community – Equity as a Foundation for Leadership – for a bi-monthly leadership community designed for any CBHL member interested in developing their knowledge, skills, and leadership behaviors as an equity-grounded leader. You are encouraged to register and join the full series.
Background: Equity-grounded leadership shifts the focus of leaders towards intersectionality, equity, and anti-racism to drive behavioral health systems transformation. The equity-grounded leadership concept was co-produced with cross-sector behavioral health leaders from around the country, who developed equity-grounded leadership competencies, or Principles of Change. Each of the five Principles is accompanied by the necessary knowledge, values, skills, and operational practice behaviors associated with each principle.
