SUMMARY:Making Change Work in State-Funded Behavioral Health: Practical Tools for Leading and Navigating Change
DESCRIPTION:State-funded behavioral health programs operate in complex\, high-stakes environments\, and community needs don’t pause while organizations adapt. Change initiatives often increase stress because the system around them isn’t aligned to support it. \nThis interactive training equips both behavioral health managers and frontline behavioral health practitioners with practical\, realistic tools to implement and navigate change in state-funded behavioral health settings—county-operated and county-contracted behavioral health practitioners. This training will explore why change efforts stall in behavioral health systems (and how to prevent predictable failure points). Participants will review the difference between “resistance” and understandable response to overload or ambiguity and how unclear roles\, competing priorities\, and documentation burden undermine change. This training will discuss how to clarify decision-making\, communication\, and accountability during transitions. Finally\, strategies for reducing burnout risk during implementation of new initiatives and influencing change constructively (as both a managers and non-manager) will be highlighted. \nUsing real-world behavioral health examples—such as electronic health record rollouts\, funding shifts\, and service model redesign—participants will explore how change succeeds when values\, leadership expectations\, staff expertise\, and operational processes are aligned. Managers will leave with practical strategies to structure change efforts without overwhelming staff. Non-managers will leave with tools to manage uncertainty\, protect professional integrity\, and engage productively in system transitions.

SUMMARY:Person-Centered Care in ACT and FACT: Addressing Client Preferences & Supporting Self-Determination
DESCRIPTION:Service recipients in public mental health often experience stigma related to living with a mental illness\, and may also experience coercive treatment approaches that undermine their sense of agency\, such as being monitored and pressured to follow provider-defined treatment plans (Choy-Brown et al.\, 2020). Evidence suggests that coercive methods in mental health services tend to elicit client disengagement and hopelessness\, while person-centered and recovery-oriented approaches support clients’ self-determination\, self-efficacy\, and well-being. This training identifies recovery-oriented principles\, such as targeting a broad range of life goals among Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) and Forensic Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) clients\, and person-centered care strategies\, such as shared decision-making and emphasizing clients’ self-identified goals as the focus of treatment planning activities. A review of intervention approaches to support person-centered care\, such as using harm reduction and trauma-informed frameworks\, will be discussed.

SUMMARY:Core Competencies in ACT and FACT Clinical Supervision
DESCRIPTION:During this training\, attendees will have an opportunity to explore the core competencies of ACT and FACT clinical supervision. Foundational to this exploration will be an interrogation of the inter-connectedness and impact of their own identities and social locations to acknowledge how one’s personal contexts influence their role as a clinical supervisor. The training will also provide an opportunity for attendees to assess their understanding of the connections between core clinical supervision competences and how they are influenced by personal experiences. Ultimately\, attendees will be poised to demonstrate better practices and develop a plan for continued professional development around core competencies for providing ACT and FACT clinical supervision. \nFocus: During this training\, attendees will have an opportunity to explore with the core competencies of ACT and FACT clinical supervision.

SUMMARY:ACT and FACT Clinical Supervision During Difficult Times
DESCRIPTION:During this training\, attendees will have the opportunity to examine factors that characterize difficult time periods in both historical and contemporary times. This historical framing will be rooted in an exploration of how such periods uniquely affect ACT and FACT clinical supervision. Foundational to this examination will be a consideration of the inter-connectedness and impact of attendee’s own identities and social locations\, acknowledging how one’s personal contexts inform one’s role as an ACT and FACT clinical supervisor\, particularly during difficult times. Ultimately\, attendees will be equipped to demonstrate more effective practices for navigating ACT and FACT clinical supervision during difficult times. \nFocus: Attendees will be able to demonstrate better practices for navigating ACT and FACT clinical supervision during difficult times.
