Addressing the workforce crisis requires a comprehensive approach that aligns and “pulls” multiple levers of change in concert and over time to create meaningful impact. A combination of infrastructure development and the implementation of workforce strategies has shown promising results in one State via a collaborative and intentional approach to advancing workforce solutions.
Participants will:
- Meet a state commissioner to learn how they lead a major workforce development effort throughout their state.
- Hear about one state’s experience designing a workforce collaborative and implementing the state’s first strategic action plan specifically devoted to the behavioral health, developmental and intellectual disabilities workforce.
- Learn examples of actionable infrastructure-building mechanisms and promising workforce strategies that can be applied in other states and localities.
- Understand recent state-enacted legislation focused on behavioral health loan forgiveness, alternative paths to licensure/removing exam requirements, and examples of strengthening recruitment and education.
- Explore a summary crosswalk of more than 400 workforce recommendations from published reports to serve as an actionable roadmap for addressing the workforce crisis.
The event will be recorded and shared with all registrants via email following the event.
