The Mountain Plains MHTTC is proud to announce that registration for our annual Leadership Academy is now open! The Leadership Academy provides participants with a one-of-a-kind customized experience where emerging leaders dealing with the unique challenges of rural behavioral healthcare can come together over two days to learn more about being an effective leader, including innovative ways to adapt resources to their situations. The training will include information, interactive experiences, and peer-led discussions about topics specific to the rural behavioral healthcare workforce. Some of these topics include: identifying personal leadership styles, tools for leading organizational change, and the impact of trauma on leadership communications, staff morale, and client interactions.
Following the training, attendees are encouraged to participate in a series of micro-monthly trainings and to take advantage of one-on-one mentoring. These follow-up activities provide participants with the opportunity to strengthen and grow the skills they learn at the Leadership Academy.
