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:Roundtable: Mental Health Reform and the Recovery (R)Evolution
DESCRIPTION:How can history serve as a launching pad for what comes next in mental health reform?  How do we avoid the cyclical actions taken to revert to practices like involuntary commitments\, for example\, which contradict what we know about recovery and wellbeing.  \n\n\n\nWe are on the brink of major change\, with the opportunity to tear down traditional boundaries and fully support mental health recovery.

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:Virtual Panel | Innovations in Youth Mental Health: Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Offered in partnership with the International Initiative for Mental Health Leadership. This webinar is open to all. \n\n\n\nYouth mental health has been identified as a top behavioral health priority in our communities.  Join this panel discussion to learn more about innovative programs and resources offered across the North American Region to support the mental health of our youth\, and how you can replicate in your own community.  \n\n\n\n\nReading & Rhythm Changes Lives \n\n\n\nSteven Angel will present an overview of the underlying causes for why students struggle with reading and how it affects their mental health. He’ll address how rhythm changes the inner workings of the mind by transforming the Doubtful Internal Voice\, while improving focus and concentration. He’ll share the building blocks that are used in Reading & Rhythm to dramatically improve reading scores and share how rhythm  increases motivation and self-esteem. He’ll close with discussing a training process that can affect tens of thousands of students in the United States and abroad. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe Power of Youth Emotional CPR \n\n\n\nOryx Cohen and Miranda Todt will present on the development of Youth Emotional CPR (eCPR) by and for youth. Their presentation will include the basics of eCPR (C – Connect\, P – emPowerment\, R – Revitalization) and share highlights of their experience delivering Youth eCPR around the world. \n\n\n\n\n\nCulturally Relevant Interventions for Mental Health Providers Serving Hispanic and Latino Youths \n\n\n\nLatinx youths are at significant risk for mental health problems\, including anxiety\, depression\, and suicide attempts. Latinx youths are also less likely to access culturally responsive mental health services and continue to be undiagnosed or untreated. This can lead to negative outcomes such as negative interactions at school and with authorities\, increased disconnection from family and society\, and exposure to the criminal justice system. This presentation will review related stressors and gaps that impact Latino youth and families. Special considerations for Hispanic and Latino youth mental health will be discussed. \n\n\n\n\nPlease join the panelists to learn more about their innovative work to support youth mental health!  \n\n\n\nPart 2 of the virtual panel will be held on June 22!

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. Mental illnesses are medical problems\, but he discovers that the cures for the crisis are not just medical\, but social. This path to healing\, built upon what he calls the three Ps (people\, place\, and purpose)\, is more straightforward than we might imagine. Dr. Insel offers a comprehensive plan for our failing system and for families trying to discern the way forward. \n\n\n\nPlease join Dr. Tom Insel to discuss his new book! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen:  June 8 at 12:00pm PDT / 1:00pm MDT / 2:00pm CDT / 3:00pm EDT \n\n\n\nPresented by:   \n\n\n\nDr. Thomas Insel | Author: Healing: Our Path from Mental Illness to Mental Health \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. Thomas Insel \n\n\n\nTom lnsel\, M.D.\, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist\, has been a national leader in mental health research\, policy\, and technology.

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.

SUMMARY:Core Competencies in Peer Crisis Support: Values\, Practices and Skills
DESCRIPTION:Offered in partnership with the New York Association for Psychiatric Rehabilitation (NYAPRS) and Humannovations.  This webinar is a follow up to Intensity\, Lived Experience\, and Crisis: Activating Peer Support for a Transformed Mental Health Crisis Response System\, held on December 15\, 2021. \n\n\n\nLived experience of crisis and peer support can be incredibly valuable when people are experiencing ‘crisis-level’ emotions such as suicidal intensity. Dispensing with stigmatizing and dehumanizing language related to these experiences is a crucial first step\, altering clinical and law enforcement practices that feel more like punishment than care is also crucial. Peer specialists and peer empowerment values need to be effectively integrated as supports in intense situations as well. But structural resistance\, risk aversion and stigma have prevented anything like widespread involvement of people with lived experience in crisis or suicide prevention programming. \n\n\n\nGiven that the peer empowerment model developed in reaction\, at least to some degree\, to coercion and dehumanizing  experiences associate with interventions when people were at their worst moments\, how can the value of shared experience and peer support work in a new system of crisis care\, such as envisioned through the 988 transformation? \n\n\n\nThe key to successful integration of “peer crisis support” is a set of core practices and skills that provide people with lived experience with distinctive competencies for supporting peers in these moments and settings\, and the opportunity and confidence to employ them. Ie the practical transformation of lived experience into lived expertise for crisis support. \n\n\n\nIn this session we will present a comprehensive approach to bridging peer support values and practices to support in crisis services and settings\, including core skills for encountering threat of violence and suicidal intensity. The presenters will outline the details of one model of advanced ‘peer crisis support’ training (Growing Through) and provide discussion on the integration of these practices from the point of view of both public mental health and suicide prevention fields. \n\n\n\nParticipants will learn: \n\n\n\nAn approach to bridging peer support values and practices for ‘encountering intensity’ with peers.Trauma-informed reframes of clinical terminology for humanizing the experience of crisis and strugglesA set of peer crisis support core competencies\, including support for suicidal intensity\n\n\n\nWhen:  January 12\, 2021 at 10:00am PST / 11:00am MST / 12:00pm CST / 1:00pm EST \n\n\n\nHow:  Join us via Zoom!   \n\n\n\nPresented by:  Eduardo Vega\, M.

SUMMARY:Intensity\, Lived Experience\, and Crisis:  Activating Peer Support for a Transformed Mental Health Crisis Response System
DESCRIPTION:Offered in partnership with the New York Association for Psychiatric Rehabilitation (NYAPRS) \n\n\n\nWhile much progress has been made to develop a modern array of ‘crisis services’ including mobile crisis units\, hospital diversion programs and ‘crisis call centers’ through and the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline Network\, the integration of people with lived experience of suicide and crisis as peer support providers\, though\, has been slow to advance. \n\n\n\nPeer support can and should play an active role at many points in the transformation of crisis response systems\, including those driven by the national 988 line initiative. This presentation will address several questions: \n\n\n\nWhere and how these get integrated is the key question.How can ‘crisis’ services connect with the empowerment foundations of peer support?How does peer support look and feel different at times of intensity?How can lived experience be meaningfully connected with when things like self-harm and suicide are present?\n\n\n\nThe presenter covers the array of these issues\, while presenting key concepts for program and policy change\, grounded in the values of dignity and recovery\, to humanize the issues in the practical work of ‘peer crisis support.’ \n\n\n\nWhen:  December 15\, 2021 at 10:00am PST / 11:00am MST / 12:00pm CST / 1:00pm EST \n\n\n\nHow:  Join us via Zoom!   \n\n\n\nPresented by:  Eduardo Vega\, M.

SUMMARY:Intersections Dialogue:  Race Matters (Conversations on Equity and Justice)
DESCRIPTION:Register Here!\n\n\n\n\nWho: CBHL members  (Max capacity:  30 participants) \n\n\n\nDescription:  On April 6\, we held a leadership conversation titled\, Courageous Leadership – Stepping Away from Power and Privilege to Build Community Trust. After this powerful discussion\, there were numerous requests for additional opportunities for participants to open up and share experiences\, to explore allyship more fully\, and to deeper dive the “how” of courageous leadership. \n\n\n\nThis session will be an Intersections Dialogue\, open to CBHL members only\, to explore how we as leaders can step into our own power to address equity and justice.  Our fear of race conversations has continued to perpetuate and prop up systems of injustice and oppression. Together\, we must agree to no longer accept the invisible cloak of racism that has plagued this country and held us back from creating a more just and equitable society. Real change starts at a personal level and requires awareness building\, education\, and activism. \n\n\n\nWhat is an Intersections Dialogue?  Developed by Just Health Collective\, an Intersections Dialogue consists of small group\, facilitated discussions where learners explore three big questions to develop awareness and commit to a set of personal and professional actions.  Through honest and open dialogue\, we create new understanding and awareness to invoke change. \n\n\n\nWhen:  Thursday July 22\, 2021 at 9:00am PST / 10:00am MST / 11:00am CST / 12:00pm EST \n\n\n\nHow: Join us on Zoom!   **Please note: Intersections Dialogues are facilitated\, small group sessions. To aid in our facilitator planning\, if you register but later find you are unable to attend\, please be sure to cancel your registration.   \n\n\n\n\nRegister Now!

SUMMARY:History of Racism #1:  The Origins of Race and Racism  (1619-1800s)
DESCRIPTION:Offered by Just Health Collective\, LLC.   See below for registration instructions. \n\n\n\nDescription:  \n\n\n\nThis two-hour interactive course will be taught by Ayo Magwood\, founder of Uprooting Inequities.  All lessons consist of a 90-minute presentation followed by a 30-minute discussion. The five lessons in the History of Racism series build on each other and are ideally taken in succession.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis first seminar in the history of racism series answers the questions “How and why were Black and White races developed?” and “How and why was anti-Black Racism developed?” We trace the historical evolution of the social construction of race from the early colonial period\, when the colonies were still a class-based society like in England\, through the middle colonial period when the Black-White racial binary and a race-based caste system was constructed through laws. Through primary source evidence\, we learn that racism did not lead to slavery\, but rather\, slavery lead to racism; economic interests led to racial narratives and a racial caste system. We also demonstrate that racism–the myth of Black racial inferiority–was the narrative that white elites/slave owners created (“the story we tell”) to both rationalize slavery (economic interests) and divide poor Whites and Blacks (political interests). \n\n\n\nBenefits: \n\n\n\nExplore the history\, economics\, sociology\, and cognitive psychology of systemic racism in the United StatesUnderstand how and why racism was constructed and reproduced over our history and how systemic racism operates and is reproduced todayKnowledge of our history will enable us to identify and implement policies and practices that can begin to dismantle racism\n\n\n\nWhen:  Wednesday June 23\, 2021 at 9:00am PST / 10:00am MST / 11:00am CST / 12:00pm EST \n\n\n\nHow to Register: Find and join the seminar day/time most convenient for you following these five easy steps: \n\n\n\nFirst\, we invite you to a complimentary membership to the JHC Village.Once in the Village\, click on COURSES found on the navigation bar on the leftClick into HISTORY OF RACISM 1 Click into EVENTS found on the navigation bar on the leftChoose your day/time to RSVP and sync the event to your calendar\n\n\n\nEmail kathy.poston@justhealthcollective.com with any questions.

As part of this discussion\, we discussed the importance of empowering leaders to meaningfully and competently advocate for health equity and anti-racism to create real change in their communities. The conversation was powerful and thought provoking and left us asking – how do we best support leaders to develop both the intellectual and emotional capacity to create equitable systems\, responsive to the needs of the community?  \n\n\n\nIn this 60-minute\, highly interactive conversation\, we want to learn from you\, our valued members.  What does it mean to be an equity-grounded leader?  As leaders\, what barriers do you encounter when addressing equity and racism in your community? What do you need to fully embody equity and anti-racism\, in order to be more responsive in your approach\, to change the conversation\, and to activate diverse populations and communities? \n\n\n\nNote that this is identical to the conversation held on May 25; we learned so much from the dialogue and are hosting a second session for those who were unable to attend the first session.  You are also welcome to attend both!  Join the conversation in safe space together with CBHL colleagues to share your experiences\, successes\, challenges and needs.  \n\n\n\nWhen:  Wednesday\, June 9\, 2021 at 10:00am PST / 11:00am MST / 12:00pm CST / 1:00pm EST \n\n\n\nWhere: Join us on Zoom!
