February 11 @ 1:00 am – 2:00 pm EST
Join us to learn how to integrate DEI with wellbeing into the very fabric of mental health workplaces through the powerful concept of “Synergy”. Synergy is the energy that we feel when we just know that healing is happening. According to Dr. Richard Katz, “Synergy is out there. The universe is synergistic. We just haven’t learned to open ourselves to it.”
Join us for 3 follow up opportunities for CBHL members to practice the skills learned in the Synergy in Action: Bringing Concepts Beyond DEI into the Mental Health Workplace Webinar. These consultation sessions (50 minutes) will be held once per month for the next three months (February, March, April).
We invite participants to bring conundrums or areas of need to the sessions and be ready to practice these skills in their workplaces and lives. The sessions will be informed by a 2 question participant interest survey and each subsequent session will be co-designed to the unique needs and challenges the participants are facing in their current contexts.
When registering for the session, please answer the following questions:
- What challenges are you currently facing with regards to diversity, equity, inclusion and/or workforce culture?
- What would you like to see as a result of participating in these sessions?
Participants will be able to ask questions, receive feedback, and support one another to better apply each of the synergy strands on individual, interpersonal, and collective levels in their particular workplace and lives.
What is a CBHL Leadership Community?
CBHL Leadership Communities connect leaders, organizations, and systems eager to learn and work across sectors in pursuit of a shared goal.

- To improve knowledge and skills of behavioral health leaders through collaboration, the exchange of ideas, and professional dialogue.
