Improving Child & Community Health

May 4, 2016 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm

Learn About Key Findings During 1 Hour Webinar

 

Join us for a webinar on May 4th from noon to 1:00 pm to learn about key findings in the new report, Improving Child & Community Health:  Addressing Workforce Challenges in Our Community Mental Health Centers.

The Workforce Development Network of the NH Children's Behavioral Health Collaborative, in conjunction with the Endowment for Health, the Institute on Disability at the University of New Hampshire, and Antal Consulting, LLC, undertook a study to better understand the issue of staff turnover among child serving staff in community mental health centers and to provide the state and individual centers with recommendations on improving staff retention.

The research process involved multiple meetings with key stakeholders, an updated literature review, as well as surveys with CMHC staff and directors.

This research provides a strong launching point, both for immediate action and planning for the long-term stability of the mental health workforce. Critical questions addressed include:

  • What are the multiple impacts of staff turnover to agencies, staff and families?
  • Which professions within the workforce are unlikely to meet current mental health needs?
  • What are some of the 29 strategies that a majority of staff indicate would play a major role in helping them to stay with their agency for three or more years?
  • What are some of the actions that can be taken at the national, state and regional level to address these issues?

Join us on May 4th from noon to 1:00 pm to learn about the key findings in this comprehensive study.
