These services and supports address many factors that contribute to a person’s overall well-being—including and beyond physical health. It is important that CBOs are seen as vital partners by health plans for their ability to help design\, coordinate\, and deliver services\, as well as ensure the individuals in their communities receive holistic care that addresses the individual’s overall health and well-being. \nToday\, most CBOs need to work with health plans and the designated MCOs in their areas as part of their service delivery network. This webinar is designed to provide an executive overview of the changing role of health plans in the health and human service sector\, so CBOs are better equipped to understand the landscape and their own role. It also will cover the organizational competencies needed to partner and participate with managed care and in the changing health plan reimbursement models. \nThis session is part of Social Current and OPEN MINDS’ collaboration on organizational value-based reimbursement competency assessment and preparedness. \nTakeaways\n\nThe changing role of health plans in the health and human service sector\nOrganizational competencies important for partnering with health plans\nOpportunities through Social Current and OPEN MINDS to support your preparation\n\nWho Should Participate\n\nExecutives\nProgram directors\nQuality managers\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n Presenter\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Monica E.

The need for leaders across sectors\, and especially within the social sector\, to understand and engage the current environment is essential in building an equitable society for all. \nThis journey begins by ensuring all people feel valued at work. It mandates the co-creation of an inclusive workforce that can foster the development of a healthy\, productive\, and peaceful society in which all people can participate and reach their full potential. The journey continues with building a culture that supports equity for long-term sustainable change and engaging the inequitable systems\, which marginalizes\, disconnects\, and dismisses individuals from having access and full participation in reaching economic mobility and prosperity. \nDuring this three-part virtual workshop presented by Social Current\, participants will explore their relationships with equity\, diversity\, and inclusion (EDI) in a safe environment and make progress on developing an EDI action plan for their organizations. \nBecause advancing EDI requires more than just basic knowledge and the will to improve\, presenters will help participants understand their own biases and the role of historical discrimination\, non-inclusive behavioral actions\, and culture in creating an unjust society. \nThe workshop will include presentations of valuable information\, facilitated discussions\, reflection opportunities\, and dedicated planning time. In addition to learning about core concepts\, participants will put ideas into action with facilitated planning time. Everyone will begin developing action plans for their organizations or build on existing plans. Organizations are encouraged to send multiple employees to build or work on current EDI plans for advancement. \nAbout the Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI®)\nTo be equipped to advance equity within your community\, organization\, and beyond\, it is essential to also understand and advance your personal journey. Enhance your participation in this workshop with the Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI®)\, which provides valuable and actionable information about your own mindset/skillset toward cultural difference and commonality. The IDI®\, a 50-item online questionnaire\, has been developed and tested using rigorous cross-culturally validated psychometric protocols with over 220\,000 respondents from a wide range of cultural groups and countries. \nAdd this assessment to your workshop registration to receive practical and in-depth information. Individuals will receive a customized IDI® Individual Profile Report and participate in a 60-minute one-on-one debrief session with Social Current Director of Evaluation and Research Phyllis Richards to discuss their results and develop a plan to meet their personal intercultural development goals.

These services and supports address many factors that contribute to a person’s overall well-being—including and beyond physical health.

Being Black in America means many things\, but one of the most prevalent issues is experiencing racism daily on multiple fronts. From standard microaggressions on up to direct confrontations\, the men who’ll be waiting on their haircuts at our barbershop have experienced it all. \nBlack August\, The Legacy of Freedom Fighters\, Past\, Present & Today \nBlack August\, observed each year in the month of August\, honors the countless organizers\, activists\, and freedom fighters who sacrificed their freedom and lives in the struggle for Black liberation. \nIn addition to commemorating the fallen freedom fighters of the Black Liberation Movement\, Black August is a time to call for the release of political prisoners in the U.S.\, to condemn the oppressive conditions of U.S. prisons\, and to emphasize the continued importance of the struggle for Black Liberation. This annual observance was created in the 1970s by Black freedom fighters who wanted to honor the lives and deaths of Black political prisoners killed by the state\, bring awareness to prison conditions\, and to honor the radical tradition of Black resistance against anti-Black state violence and systemic oppression. \nJoin African American male leaders from the sector as they dive into the historical value of Black August and discuss the long-lasting effects of systemic oppression we see today in communities. Discuss the challenges and opportunities for freedom and equity in communities of color that support voices that call for justice. \nAbout the Virtual Barbershop \nThe barbershop is the one of the few safe places where Black men feel very comfortable in having candid conversations on just about anything. All over America\, the barbershop continues to serve as a second home and place of refuge\, healing\, and compassion for Black men. \nThis virtual space will feature several Black male executives from around the country\, sharing their experiences and recommendations for advancing anti-racist leadership and championing equity-focused action in human services organizations. Just like in any barbershop\, anyone is welcome to drop in at any time based on their availability and interest. \nCatch Up with the Barbers on Previous Visits \n\nLeading Positive Change amid Social and Political Unrest\nBlack Male Executives on COVID-19\nAddressing COVID-19 Disparities and the Vaccine Rollout\nBuilding Family Resilience by Supporting Black Fathers\nSupporting Black Students in the Classroom\n\nTakeaways\n\nWhat separates Black August from Black History Month\nHow the Black Liberation Movement was affected by racism and violence\nHow the current prison system affects communities of color today\nStrategies to advocate and assist in reform responsive to communities that have been harmed\n\nWho Should Participate\n\nExecutives\nDirectors\nProgram managers\nHuman resources staff\nBoard members\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n The Barbers\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Undraye P.

These dynamic discussions will navigate the negative perceptions of the Black woman\, the impact of our commitment to resilience\, and how we use our influence to elevate our communities. \nDuring this session\, panelists share some experiences around risk taking\, courage\, and authenticity. Participants will learn strategies for navigating responsibilities that often seem biased and unjust. This session also will discuss how to emphasize your own well-being and self-care. \n\n\n\nPart 1: The Angry Phenomenal Black Woman (April 22)\nPart 2: It’s All Good … But It’s Not! (July 20)\nPart 3: Elevating How We Stand in Our Seats (TBD) \n\n\nAbout the Black Women in Leadership Affinity Group\nWe are a courageous group of Black woman leaders who support one another to nurture and live our power\, bolster engagement in personal and professional development\, and leverage our network to be a catalyst for positive change in our communities. Given the impact of historical and existing structural racism that we must surmount\, the affinity group aims to engage authentically\, bringing our talent and vulnerability together to transcend societal norms. Through trainings\, conversations\, topical education\, tools\, and other resources\, Black women leaders will learn and practice the teaching principles and habits of EDI-focused adaptive leadership skills. \nThe Social Current Leadership Through Affinity groups support leaders with shared cultural backgrounds as they build relationships\, develop professional networks\, and engage in training. \nCurrent groups include: \n\nBlack Women in Leadership Affinity Group\nLatinx Leadership Affinity Group\nAllies for Equity\, Justice & Inclusion\nBlack Men’s Barbershop Affinity Group\n\nThrough the work of the affinity groups\, emerging and senior leaders will develop solutions and address barriers that keep persons of color from advancing at rates equal to their counterparts. These leaders will have access to trainings that include adaptive leadership\, psychological safety\, and rEvolutionary leadership. Leaders will also receive mentoring from EDI cohort leaders.  \nThese four affinity groups are the result of a grant-supported inaugural project\, but they are just the beginning. We recognize that there are marginalized groups not represented here and we hope to expand to other racial\, ethnic\, or cultural backgrounds\, including\, but not limited to\, LGBTQ+\, those with disabilities\, and those considered Second Acts.

These services and supports address many factors that contribute to a person’s overall well-being—including and beyond physical health. It is important that CBOs are seen as vital partners by health plans for their ability to help design\, coordinate\, and deliver services\, as well as ensure the individuals in their communities receive holistic care that addresses the individual’s overall health and well-being. \nToday\, most CBOs need to work with health plans and the designated MCOs in their areas as part of their service delivery network. This webinar is designed to provide an executive overview of the changing role of health plans in the health and human service sector\, so CBOs are better equipped to understand the landscape and their own role. It also will cover the organizational competencies needed to partner and participate with managed care and in the changing health plan reimbursement models. \nThis session is part of Social Current and OPEN MINDS’ collaboration on organizational value-based reimbursement competency assessment and preparedness. \nTakeaways\n\nThe changing role of health plans in the health and human service sector\nOrganizational competencies important for partnering with health plans\nOpportunities through Social Current and OPEN MINDS to support your preparation\n\nWho Should Participate\n\nExecutives\nProgram directors\nQuality managers\n\n \n\n \n\n \n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n Presenter\n \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Monica E.

The need for leaders across sectors\, and especially within the social sector\, to understand and engage the current environment is essential in building an equitable society for all. \nThis journey begins by ensuring all people feel valued at work. It mandates the co-creation of an inclusive workforce that can foster the development of a healthy\, productive\, and peaceful society in which all people can participate and reach their full potential. The journey continues with building a culture that supports equity for long-term sustainable change and engaging the inequitable systems\, which marginalizes\, disconnects\, and dismisses individuals from having access and full participation in reaching economic mobility and prosperity. \nDuring this three-part virtual workshop presented by Social Current\, participants will explore their relationships with equity\, diversity\, and inclusion (EDI) in a safe environment and make progress on developing an EDI action plan for their organizations. \nBecause advancing EDI requires more than just basic knowledge and the will to improve\, presenters will help participants understand their own biases and the role of historical discrimination\, non-inclusive behavioral actions\, and culture in creating an unjust society. \nThe workshop will include presentations of valuable information\, facilitated discussions\, reflection opportunities\, and dedicated planning time. In addition to learning about core concepts\, participants will put ideas into action with facilitated planning time. Everyone will begin developing action plans for their organizations or build on existing plans. Organizations are encouraged to send multiple employees to build or work on current EDI plans for advancement. \nAbout the Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI®)\nTo be equipped to advance equity within your community\, organization\, and beyond\, it is essential to also understand and advance your personal journey. Enhance your participation in this workshop with the Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI®)\, which provides valuable and actionable information about your own mindset/skillset toward cultural difference and commonality.
