CBHL Member Advocacy Workgroup | Workforce Subgroup
At our June 21 Advocacy Workgroup meeting, workgroup members recommended focusing on specific areas of interest, forming subgroups self-organized by CBHL members. The subgroups met during the month of July to develop a summary of key messages for each interest area that apply to the three components of the National Behavioral Health Strategy .
The Workforce subgroup meeting in July focused on developing key advocacy messages related to the behavioral health workforce, with a focus on peer support & paraprofessionals. The full workgroup then reconvened and provided additional feedback in relation to this area of focus.
The purpose of this subgroup meeting will be to consider additional feedback from the full workgroup and to further refine messages.
A more detailed agenda will be shared with registrants prior to the meeting.
Follow-up Dialogue | Self-Assessment for Modification of Anti-Racism Tool (SMART)
Online OnlyOn July 19, 2022, a webinar was held to introduce participants to the Self-Assessment for Modification of Anti-Racism Tool (SMART), an innovative self-directed quality improvement tool developed by the American Association for Community Psychiatry (AACP) to assist community mental health organizations in addressing structural racism. The presenters described the process by which SMART was developed, including its grounding in input from community mental health providers and existing health inequity frameworks. The domains and items of SMART as well as its application process were outlined. Presenters also provided lessons from on-the-ground applications of SMART in diverse community mental health settings.
There was significant interest in furthering the conversation around SMART implementation looks like in practice. This follow-up dialogue will allow for space to further engage with both the developers of SMART, and leaders who have used SMART in their organizations. Lessons learned will be shared, and questions answered. Join us for an important opportunity to learn from one another!
