The capacity to hire, train, nurture, and retain competent behavioral health workforce has been and continues to be a severe challenge nationally and globally. Caring for the needs of patients from diverse cultural backgrounds sets the bar even higher. COVD-19 and its disruption of personal and work lives has made that work more challenging.

This webinar seeks to provide a forum of discussing how to keep joy, fun, and excitement in the hearts and minds of the behavioral health workforce and especially to those who serve diverse clients. The webinar will also discuss how leaders can empower their workforce to find joy and satisfaction amidst the uncertainties of the COVID-19 era.
