Email UpdatesThe behavioral health workforce crisis is one of the most pressing challenges facing us today. The demand for mental health services has surged, yet the workforce shortage persists, resulting in unequal access to care and unmet demand. Communities and organizations throughout the country have identified challenges and devised innovative approaches to tackle the issue. Nonetheless, these strategies often lack coordination and dissemination, hindering their potential for widespread impact.
Over the past two years, The College for Behavioral Health Leadership, The National Council for Mental Wellbeing, and Health Management Associates have been working together to develop a new approach to addressing the workforce crisis. This approach is built upon a collective impact framework designed to unify stakeholders across sectors, leveraging existing recommendations and innovative solutions to tackle the crisis.
Attendees of this webinar will be able to:
- Understand the current landscape of efforts to address the workforce crisis;

- Discuss six key workforce priorities to tackle via the collective impact framework;
- Provide their feedback on the approach;
