Innovative Leadership Strategies for Mental Health Professionals – Part 3: After the Storm

Leading mental health organizations, programs, and initiatives can prove challenging in the best of times. Meeting the needs of clients in the diverse Pacific Southwest while effectively navigating the field’s evolving best practices, policies, and funding requires innovative, resilient, and adaptable leadership at all levels. COVID-19’s impact on both personal and professional lives exacerbates the need for these skills.

The Adaptive Leadership Framework facilitates evolution and growth in response to change and challenge. Join the Pacific Southwest Mental Health Technology Transfer Center (MHTTC), c0-directed by Change Matrix, to explore the principles of Adaptive Leadership and how you can apply the framework to lead more effectively.

Learning Objectives for the 3-Part Series:
During this three-part series, participants will:

• Learn the principles of Adaptive Leadership and how to implement them in mental health work.
• Identify strategies for engaging others to initiate, make, and sustain change.
• Apply Adaptive Leadership principles to “weather the storm,” lead effectively, and prioritize well-being during challenging times.

Part 3: After the Storm

Leading in the mental health system requires us to navigate continuously changing and evolving regulations and mandates. Leaders need to review, prioritize, and sunset certain projects or initiatives while initiating others. This environment proves particularly challenging when the needs of communities in the Pacific Southwest region are varied and shifting. This session will cover how adaptive leaders in mental health can effectively manage change and address multiple competing needs.
