SUMMARY:North American Webinar & Roundtable Dialogue | Self-Direction: Supporting Choice\, Control\, and Independence
DESCRIPTION:This webinar and roundtable dialogue is for members of the International Initiative for Mental Health Leadership (IIMHL)\, the International Initiative for Disability Leadership (IIDL)\, and the College for Behavioral Health Leadership (CBHL). \n\n\n\n**If you need accommodations for this dialogue\, please let us know by registering at least one week in advance** \n\n\n\nIn October 2022\, IIMHL and IIDL held a Leadership Exchange\, with the North American Regional Hub taking place in Washington DC.  One of the topics discussed by leaders from the United States and Canada was advances in self-direction (summary here).  This webinar and dialogue is intended to expand upon that conversation and further leadership connections between United States and Canadian leaders.  \n\n\n\nDescription:  Self-direction\, also called self-directed care\, is an alternative to traditional service delivery models in which participants control an individual budget\, create a person-centered plan\, and purchase goods and services they feel will best help them to achieve their goals. In this roundtable\, two people who self-direct will share how the expanded choice and control in self-direction has impacted their lives. They’ll be joined by a researcher who will describe outcomes\, implementation facilitators and barriers\, and best practice in self-direction across the country.  Join us for a 90-minute session to engage with the panelists in dialogue. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen:  May 31 at 10:00am PST / 11:00am MST / 12:00pm CT / 1:00pm ET  \n\n\n\n(90 minutes) \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\nBorn with cerebral palsy\, Tim Jin advocates for the rights of anyone with a speech-related disability to have access to the communication tools and support they need.

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

SUMMARY:CBHL Member Roundtable:  Deconstructing Non-Compliance and Exploring a Counterargument to Forced Treatment
DESCRIPTION:Register Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom New York to California\, policies are being implemented which lead to the increased use of forced treatment orders\, reverting to policies of years past.  Attempts to address community challenges around homelessness\, poverty\, and crime are often conflated with mental health challenges and regarded as public safety versus public health issues.  This leads to strategies resulting in involuntary hospitalizations and incarcerations.  There are numerous research findings demonstrating the damaging\, discriminating\, and inequitable effects of forced treatment\, so why are policymakers reverting to these policies? Join the dialogue on February 23 at 9am PT / 10am MT / 11am CT / 12pm ET to de-construct non-compliance and explore a counterargument to forced treatment.  \n\n\n\n**If you missed the January 12 Roundtable – The History of Mental Health Reform and the Recovery (R)Evolution\, we encourage you to view it here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis Roundtable is for CBHL Members! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen:  February 23 at 9:00am PST / 10:00am MST / 11:00am CST / 12:00pm EST \n\n\n\nSubject Matter Experts: \n\n\n\nCherene Caraco | CEO\, Promise Resource Network \n\n\n\nKimberley Blair | Director of Public Policy & Advocacy\, National Alliance on Mental Illness of NYC (NAMI-NYC) \n\n\n\nKeris Jän Myrick | Vice President of Partnerships\, Inseparable; Podcast Host\, Unapologetically Black Unicorns \n\n\n\nVesper Moore | COO\, Kiva Centers; Indigenous activist\, trainer\, writer\, and psychiatric survivor \n\n\n\nLeslie Napper | Disability Rights California \n\n\n\nJodi Nerell | Director\, Local Mental Health Engagement\, Mental Health and Addiction Care\, Sutter Health \n\n\n\nHarvey Rosenthal | CEO\, New York Association of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here

SUMMARY:CBHL Member Roundtable:  The Intersection of Poverty\, Lived Experience\, and Mental Health 
DESCRIPTION:Poverty is one of the most significant social determinants of mental health\, intersecting with all other determinants – housing\, community conditions\, race and ethnicity\, immigration status\, access to care\, and the built environment.   Poverty can cause poor mental health through social stresses\, stigma\, and trauma.  And\, poor mental health can lead to impoverishment through loss of employment or fragmentation of relationships.    \n\n\n\nWe can’t respond effectively to our client’s mental and substance use concerns unless we understand their life circumstances\, including the impact of poverty on their lives.  Some communities have piloted efforts like guaranteed income or child tax credits. The Housing First model has proven to reduce housing instability.  Yet poverty continues to be a barrier.   \n\n\n\nJoin us for a CBHL Member Roundtable on January 19 at 9am PT / 12pm ET to learn and share comprehensive strategies to addressing poverty at the community\, state\, and federal level.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis Roundtable is exclusive for CBHL Members! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen:  January 19 at 9:00am PST / 10:00am MST / 11:00am CST / 12:00pm EST \n\n\n\nSubject Matter Experts: \n\n\n\nJei Africa\, PhD | Assistant Director Human Services\, County of San Mateo \n\n\n\nLarissa Estes\, DrPH | Executive Director\, ALL IN Alameda County \n\n\n\nSenchel Matthews\, MCRP | President\, Southeast Regional Development Corporation \n\n\n\nDarryl McDavid | Program Manager\, NET Growth Movement\, Bay Area Community Services \n\n\n\nGarrett Moran\, PhD | Professor of Health Policy & Behavioral Medicine and Psychiatry at West Virginia University School of Medicine (Retired) \n\n\n\nKathy Sternbach\, MBA\, MEd | Partner\, TriWest Group\, LLC \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:Lunch and Learn Series - Equity as the Foundation for Behavioral Health Leadership
DESCRIPTION:We are at a long overdue point in time where the recognition of decades of systemic health inequities have yielded significantly worse outcomes for indigenous\, racial and ethnic minoritized\, marginalized\, and under-resourced populations\, which has led to years of poor outcomes and reduced quality of life.  Since the start of the pandemic\, there is an alarming decline in behavioral health outcomes particularly for the most marginalized populations. We are also on the precipice of significant and complex behavioral health systems changes – such as the implementation of 988 – giving us the opportunity to identify inequities and eradicate them through equity-grounded leadership.   \n\n\n\nEquity-Grounded Leadership stems from the understanding that the current systems are unjust. It empowers leaders to mobilize themselves and others to create positive change. Equity-grounded leadership is anti-racist\, person-centered\, recovery-oriented\, trauma-informed\, and acknowledges that individuals have different experiences\, abilities\, needs\, and strengths. It allows leaders to account for those and develop strategies for decision making to include all voices.  \n\n\n\nPlease join Peg’s Foundation to learn about Equity-Grounded Leadership and how this foundational principle of leadership can be applied in your organization\, community or region.   \n\n\n\nSession Objectives: \n\n\n\nExplore what behavioral health equity means and what this means for leadersLearn how one organization is working to support the development of equity-grounded leadershipDiscuss the principles of equity-grounded leadership and how you can apply them in your community\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen:  November 17 at 9:00am PST / 10:00am MST / 11:00am CST / 12:00pm EST \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\nEbony Chambers | Chief Equity & Partnership Officer at Stanford Sierra Youth and Families and lead facilitator for the College for Behavioral Health Leadership’s Equity-Grounded Leadership Fellow Program \n\n\n\nHolly Salazar | Chief Executive Officer for the College for Behavioral Health Leadership

SUMMARY:Webinar | Implementation Accelerator: Leadership Training through Application
DESCRIPTION:Offered in partnership with Health Management Associates (HMA). This webinar is open to all. \n\n\n\nThe healthcare industry is constantly evolving and requires a workforce that is responsive and able to lead and adapt to changes. Healthcare professionals are continually asked to incorporate new services\, care models\, quality measures\, and process improvements into daily work. While clinical innovations and operational improvements are promising\, there is growing recognition of the gap between plans to implement them and actual implementation. This has created an entire field of study\, implementation science\, to close this gap.  \n\n\n\nHealth Management Associates (HMA) has extensive leadership\, operational\, and clinical expertise working directly with health systems\, health plans\, providers\, foundations\, community-based organizations\, and associations and can help clients understand and use implementation science informed approaches for successful change. Drawing on this experience\, we developed the HMA Implementation Accelerator\, a leadership development framework that utilizes implementation science to address on-the-ground challenges and lead successful implementation efforts. This presentation will cover the framework and components of Implementation Accelerator. \n\n\n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\nAt the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n Identify common barriers to successful project implementation​ Describe skills needed to successfully lead project implementation​ Review evidence-based principles to develop leadership skills​Outline project-based\, skill development process to build​ implementation leaders​\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nImplementation Accelerator Office Hours: \n\n\n\n\nThere is a hunger to talk about and problem solve complex implementation challenges with other leaders. Implementation Accelerator Office Hours invites behavioral health leaders to bring a use case to discuss and process together with colleagues as a small group. \n\n\n\n\nThe following themes will shape these conversations: \n\n\n\nTechnical vs. Adaptive Leadership (October 4\, 2022)Facilitating Productive Planning Sessions (October 19\, 2022)Moving from Problems to Solutions (November 2\, 2022)\n\n\n\n*Implementation Accelerator Office Hours are exclusive to CBHL Members.

SUMMARY:Webinar | Soteria New York: Bringing an Innovative Approach to Psychiatric Crisis to New York
DESCRIPTION:Offered in partnership with New York Association of Psychiatric Rehabilitation Services (NYAPRS) and Community Access. This webinar is open to all.   \n\n\n\nThis webinar will discuss the history and future of the Soteria model\, an evidence-based alternative to acute hospitalization for persons experiencing psychiatric crises. Soteria provides intensive support in a communal residential setting with emphasis on humane interactions and understanding.  \n\n\n\nReplications of the Soteria model have been few and far between since the remarkable success of the original Soteria experiment\, spearheaded by Loren Mosher and Alma Menn in the 1970s. Recently\, a wide-ranging renewal of the Soteria model has taken place in Israel with very positive outcomes.  \n\n\n\nThe need for alternatives to police intervention and hospitalization for crisis stabilization\, has led to a development of short term residential facilities in many US states. Following the success of the Parachute Project\, New York State has been a pioneer in promoting the establishment of such residential alternatives with an eye on further expansion. This discussion will consider how the Soteria model would be uniquely impactful in New York State. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen:  June 9 at 10:00am PDT / 11:00am MDT / 12:00pm CDT / 1:00pm EDT \n\n\n\nSpeakers:   \n\n\n\nPesach Lichtenberg | Founder\, Soteria Isreal; Psychiatrist based in Jerusalem  \n\n\n\nVoyce Hendrix | Director\, Soteria San Jose (1976-78); Social Worker\, St. Paul\, MN \n\n\n\nYana Jacobs | Counselor\, Soteria San Jose; Social Worker\, Santa Cruz\, CA \n\n\n\nDaniel Bergner | Contributing Writer\, New York Times; Author of Upcoming Book – The Mind and the Moon – My Brother\, the Science of Our Brains and the Search for Our Psyches \n\n\n\nElan Cohen | Clinical Psychology Doctoral Candidate and Former Peer Specialist with the Parachute Program \n\n\n\nPeter Stastny | Psychiatric Consultant; Co-Founder of International Network Towards Alternatives and Rights-Based Supports \n\n\n\nThis event is free and open to all! \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!

SUMMARY:Webinar with Dr. Tom Insel | Healing: Our Path from Mental Illness to Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Offered in partnership with the International Initiative for Mental Health Leadership. This webinar is open to all.   \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe fruit of a lifetime of expertise and a global quest for answers\, Healing: Our Path from Mental Illness to Mental Health is a hopeful\, actionable account and achievable vision for us all in this time of mental health crisis. \n\n\n\nDr. Insel\, former Director of the National Institute of Mental Health\, left his position atop the mental health research world to investigate all that was broken—and what a better path to mental health might look like. He found that we do have approaches that work\, both in the U.S. and globally.

SUMMARY:Webinar | The Reality of Co-Production: Learning from Experiences of Working with Service Users as Stakeholders
DESCRIPTION:Offered in partnership with the International Initiative for Mental Health Leadership. This webinar is open to all.   \n\n\n\nThe term co-production refers to a way of working where service providers and users\, work together to reach a collective outcome. The approach is value-driven and built on the principle that those who are affected by a service are best placed to help design it. \n\n\n\nCo-production is an approach to decision-making and service design rather than a specific method. It stems from the recognition that if organizations are to deliver successful services\, they must understand the needs of their users and engage them closely in the design and delivery of those services.  \n\n\n\nCo-production rejects the traditional understanding of service users as dependents of public services\, and instead redefines the service/ user relationship as one of co-dependency and collaboration. Just like users need the support from public services\, service providers need the insights and expertise of its users in order to make the right decisions and build effective services. In practice\, it means that those who are affected by a service are not only consulted\, but are part of the conception\, design\, steering\, and management of services.  \n\n\n\nUsing real-life examples\, this interactive discussion session will share learning from the theories\, tensions\, challenges and benefits of co-production in health practice and research. Among other areas\, we will collectively discuss power inequalities\, lived experience vs data to inform decision-making\, and ethical considerations.  \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\n\n\nUnderstand the theories and policy drivers of undertaking co-production in health research and services.Consider the real-life implementation challenges of co-production in practice within current health systems and contexts. Develop an understanding how leaders can support co-production in future healthcare.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen:  May 24\, 2022 at 9:00am PDT / 10:00am MDT / 11:00am CDT / 12:00pm EDT \n\n\n\nPresented by:   \n\n\n\nDr. Corinna Hackmann\, Clinical Psychologist/Adult Services Research Development Lead | Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust\, UK \n\n\n\nDr. Bonnie Teague\, Head of Research and Associate Professor in Mental Health Services Research | Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust and University of East Anglia \n\n\n\nThis event is free and open to all! \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\nDr. Corinna Hackmann  \n\n\n\nThe research we develop is clinically applied and has co-production at its heart. Meaningful research development should encompass a multitude of perspectives and empower everybody. This has included work on diagnosis\, peer support\, autistic spectrum disorders\, eating disorders and discharge from inpatient settings. We have worked in collaboration with the World Health Organisation on a paper published in the Lancet Psychiatry on the need to include service-user perspectives in diagnostic guidelines. \n\n\n\nI am also interested in co-creativity\, the arts and language. We are currently working on a project to explore the impact of the language on people who have experienced mental health issues. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Bonnie Teague  \n\n\n\nI work across all areas relating to mental health research and lead the strategic programmes of work relating to research within the NHS.  \n\n\n\nMy specific research interests are in mental health inequalities\, global health services and social determinants of mental health. I am also Associate Professor in mental health services research at the University of East Anglia\, and act as supervisor for nursing\, PhD and psychology trainees. \n\n\n\nI am passionate about how research can be used as a tool of education and learning for everyone and can also support principles of health equity by challenging the status quo through high-quality evidence.  My current research focuses on supporting marginalised health groups to engage in health intervention development.

SUMMARY:Webinar | International Innovations to Support the Workforce:  Addressing Moral Distress and Moral Injury in Healthcare Workers
DESCRIPTION:Register Here\n\n\n\n\nOffered in partnership with the International Initiative for Mental Health Leadership.  This webinar is open to all.   \n\n\n\nIn January\, CBHL members met to discuss the continued strain on our health care – and specifically behavioral health – workforce.  As a result of this conversation\, The College for Behavioral Health Leadership\, in partnership with the International Initiative for Mental Health Leadership\, is proud to offer a series of international innovations to support our workforce. \n\n\n\nSince the COVID-19 outbreak\, frontline health care workers and first responders have been under considerable stress. Every day they are engaged in a balancing act making critical decisions around which patients will receive life-saving care when resources are limited\, having to discharge someone earlier than recommended to avoid the risk of infecting others\, or having to eliminate ‘non-essential’ care during the crisis. \n\n\n\nBeing stretched physically and mentally\, and unable to provide optimum care to everyone\, may lead to moral injury. Moral injury refers to the impact of extremely challenging\, morally laden experiences that upset one’s value system. If not addressed\, moral injury can result in long-lasting emotional and psychological damage. \n\n\n\nHealth care workers need organizational\, team\, and individual supports now. \n\n\n\nThe Centre of Excellence on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder at The Royal Ottawa and Phoenix Australia – Centre for Posttraumatic Mental Health have co-developed A Guide to Moral Injury that addresses this situation among health care workers. A practical resource for health care workers and organizations \,the guide: i) defines moral injury; ii) lays out the stressors and harms that may lead to moral injury\, focusing on those prevalent in the health care setting related to COVID-19; iii) provides a framework for managing events in the workplace that can lead to moral injury; iv) outlines actions that can be taken at the organizational\, team\, and individual levels to mitigate and reduce the harms that can lead to moral injury; v) explores how race and culture intersect with morality and are axes of identity relevant to the experiences of moral distress and moral injury\, and how racism influences health outcomes. \n\n\n\nWhen:  April 7\, 2022 at 9:00am PST / 10:00am MST / 11:00am CST / 12:00pm EST \n\n\n\nHow:  Register via zoom! \n\n\n\nPresented by:  Fardous Hosseiny\, MSc [He/Him/il]\, President and CEO | Président et chef de la direction\, Centre of Excellence on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) | Centre d’excellence sur le trouble de stress post traumatique (TSPT) \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFardous Hosseiny (he/him) is the President and CEO at the Centre of Excellence on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Related Mental Health Conditions (CoE-PTSD)\, located at the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre in Ottawa. \n\n\n\nBefore coming to the CoE-PTSD\, Fardous was most recently the interim National Chief Executive Officer and the National Director of Research and Public Policy\, at the Canadian Mental Health Association. \n\n\n\nHis research focuses on strategic policy issues related to mental health system transformation\, parity legislation\, Veteran and their Families mental health\, substance use and addiction and mental health for newcomers and underrepresented groups.
