Representatives from GLE were delighted to take part in this month’s Workforce Solutions Jam, hosted in partnership with the College for Behavioral Health Leadership (CBHL), The National Council for Mental Wellbeing, and Health Management Associates (HMA).
Workforce challenges and solutions may appear different around the world, but there are core consistencies and we can all learn from each other. With international efforts to address shortages and expand the workforce, there are fresh and bold ideas that can inform strategy.
GLE’s President and CEO Steve Appleton, COO and European Lead Sean Russell, and Pacific Lead Manase Lua discussed GLE’s role in convening international partners to expand ideas in behavioral health.
The webinar addressed global trends in the behavioral health workforce and discussed nuances in how countries address challenges, with examples of workforce development efforts aimed to improve relationships and align care with local community culture.
The Workforce Solutions Jam takes place monthly to build national momentum and encourage collaboration through the Workforce Solutions Partnership. The partnership is leveraging Collective Impact to address the workforce crisis, and using a cross-sector approach to address the long-standing challenges for expanding and solidifying the behavioral health workforce.
The Workforce Solutions Partnership is the new name for the partnership between the National Council for Mental Wellbeing, Health Management Associates and the College for Behavioral Health Leadership. The Center for Workforce Solutions continues to operate as an initiative of the National Council.
