Creating a National Agenda for Recovery

Felicia Pullen, CEO, PILLARS Inc.; Taina Laing, CEO Baltic Street; Elizabeth Burden, Senior Advisor, Practice Improvement & Consulting, National Council for Mental Wellbeing

Late last year, SAMHSA convened a group of key national stakeholders to participate in a Recovery Now! Summit aimed at the development of a national recovery agenda. Join our expert panel in exploring a vision and a set of recommendations that will advance some of the key themes that were identified, including strategies to promote recovery-ready and recovery-rich communities, prepare the workforce and workplace for integrating peers in diverse settings, address disparities and advance equity and inclusion.


10:15am-10:30am Break

10:30-11:45 am

  1.  Leading The Way Towards Mental Health, Substance Use and Health Care Integration
Lindsay Ragona, Project Director, CCBHC CN Guidance and Counseling; Rebecca Linn-Walton, Clinical Officer, S:US; Kristen Miguel, CCBHC Service Director, Helio Health; Moderator Renee Boak, Healthcare Delivery and Finance Consultant, National Council for Mental Wellbeing
This panel discussion will focus on increasing the understanding of the CCBHC model, highlighting strategies and practices that support implementation and continuous quality improvement efforts. Panelists will share their experiences and offer recommendations and best practices for wrapping services around someone with complex care needs.

  1.  The Power of Reverse Mentoring: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Tools for Success

Barbara Marianetti DesRosiers, Chief Human Resource Officer; Jason Kuby, Chief Financial Officer; Kesha Carter, Chief Diversity Officer; Lisa Earle, Director of School-Based Operations; Tashia Thomas-Neal, Director of Equity and Inclusion on behalf of Onondaga County of Children and Family Services, Moderator: Lenora Reid-Rose, Senior Director, Strategic Initiatives, Partnerships and Community Connectedness, Coordinated Care Services Inc.
In reverse mentoring, colleagues "pair up" - regardless of seniority - to learn from one another. This can benefit both parties' careers in several ways: sharing specific expertise such as technology or leadership skills and bridging generational and hierarchical gaps to improve communication. We will discuss how people of color can mentor white senior leaders as a primary way to infuse Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts into an organization. We will share how one organization, Coordinated Care Services, Inc., is implementing a reverse mentoring program, how the program challenges power dynamics and promotes equity by giving traditionally marginalized individuals a chance to share their perspectives and insights with those in higher positions of power.

  1.  Leader and Organizational Resilience: Building a Culture of Compassion

Julie Schillim. Pd.D., LLP, LPC, Consultant, National Council for Mental Wellbeing

The wellness of our organizations and workforce influences both the quality of services provided as well as its impact on the community. Enhancing trauma-informed, resilience-oriented, equity-focused systems will create cultures of compassion which support resilience and wellness in leadership, workforce, and the overall organization. Join us for a discussion on how to create cultures of compassion, resilience, and wellness.



  1.  Equity Grounded Leadership in Action: A Co-Produced Approach to Behavioral Health Systems Transformation

Crystal Brandow, Principal, CLB Strategies, LLC; Juliet C. Dorris-Williams, Executive Director, The P.E.E.R, Center of Columbus; Vernick Smith, Independent Consultant and Founder of Motivating Students Victoriously LLC; Moderators: Aly Feye, Director of Operations and Holly Salazar, CEO, The College for Behavioral Health Leadership

Leaders must embody equity as an operating principle-as a mindset to transform behavioral health systems. But what does this mean, and how is it operationalized for leaders? With so many major system-level changes in progress across the country, leaders must be prepared to take action; to disrupt the status quo by addressing the pervasive inequities that continue to plague communities across the country. Equity-grounded leadership, guided by five principles of change, is a co-produced approach to leadership development. It is designed to shift the focus of leaders to intersectionality, equity and anti-racism for behavioral health systems transformation.

Liz Breier, Director, Bureau of Regional Advocacy and Peer Support Services for Adults and Youth, New York State Office of Mental Health; Dr. Jonathan Edwards, Program Consultant, Bureau of Alcohol and Drug Use Prevention, Care and Treatment, NYC Department of Health & Mental Hygiene; Rita Cronise, PeerTAC Co-Director Rutgers University

This interactive session will detail what peer support is and what it is not, the benefits of peer support in diverse settings as well as explore myths and facts related to peer support service delivery. This session will also examine supervision and the role of the supervisor in maintaining fidelity to the peer support model and reducing peer drift.

  1.  The Leadership Challenge: Supporting Teams to Thrive
Edye Schwartz, Principal, Edye Schwartz Consulting
A high priority for our executive teams is how to recruit and retain a workforce that thrives and is devoted to providing the services people need in their recovery journey. The answer is in creating an inspiring organizational culture that nurtures and rewards staff who are 100% committed, engaged, and love what they do. Leadership is at the heart of creating and maintaining a culture that nurtures these ideas partly by helping staff see how their work creates impact and adds value. Leaders keep employees engaged by being genuine and sharing a clear mission and vision that ties back to the actual work. Join us as we discuss how you can create an environment of empowerment, keep open lines of communication, help staff find their "why" and assure that staff really love what they do, where they do it, and who they do it with.
