Innovative Leadership Strategies for Mental Health Professionals – Part 2: During 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 2: During the Storm

Leadership during chaos requires mental health providers to reflect and learn about existing challenges, find solutions collaboratively with other professionals and team members, and determine new solutions. The unpredictability and severity of the challenges influences the strategies that mental health providers, organizations, and systems must put in place. In this workshop, presenters will apply new strategies and Adaptive Leadership principles to continue to “weather the storm,” and lead effectively, while addressing leaders’ own well-being.
