Rising Practices & Policies in our Workforce: Interrupting Bullying & Fostering Belonging

Dates: October 24-26, 2023

How might we—as the mental health and school mental health workforce—evolve our own practices and policies to meet the evolving needs of the people and systems we serve?

The Pacific Southwest Mental Health Technology Transfer Center Network team is continuing our programming on emerging practices and policies that impact mental health and school mental health services and systems, and this October (in honor of National Bullying Prevention Awareness Month), we are zooming in on the topic of bullying and belonging.

On October 24th, 25th, & 26th, in collaboration with and support from SAMHSA’s Region 9 Office, we’re offering a series of learning sessions to augment mental health providers and systems leaders’ knowledge, skills, and approaches for effectively responding to and preventing bullying while also fostering belonging.

Whether we serve clients (adults, young people, or children) or support the supporters, there is a critical need to strengthen the mental health and school mental health workforce in this area. We start by understanding what is working now and what no longer serves us. Through these conversations, we can identify new ways of providing services that better meet current and future workforce needs.

Each session will:

  • Explore the most current issues and choices related to bullying prevention and belonging.
  • Highlight practices and policies related to bullying and belonging that are creative, innovative, and responsive.

All sessions will be followed by a 30 minute optional participant debrief to process, peer resource, and discuss the rising practices and policies explored in the session’s panel (4:15-4:45 p.m. PT).
