Join us for an honest conversation with Gary M. Blau, Ph.D. Please join Dr. Gary M. Blau, Ph.D., former Senior Advisor for SAMHSA, for an honest dialogue about engaging youth and families within systems of care.
In this dialogue with Gary M. Blau, Ph.D., we’ll explore what it truly means to foster authentic partnerships with families and youth, as a driving force in the development and implementation of services and supports, organizational leadership, and system design and reform. Together, we’ll reflect on how leaders can move beyond engagement to co-creation, building trust, shared power, and sustainable collaboration.

Mentorship in Motion brings leaders together for honest conversations about leadership in behavioral health. Through shared experiences and lived wisdom, participants will gain insights that they can carry into their own leadership journeys.
