System Changes for a Green Mental Health Movement
What we have learned about ten areas in need of system change--what's worked and what barriers need to be addressed.

This 10 webinar course will focus on areas of programming that need changes on a system level in order to sustain reforms at clinical and service levels. The goal of each webinar will be to describe changes needed and the real world experiences of the presenters in implementing the changes--what has worked and as well as what lessons can be learned from those that have not yet resulted in system changes. The goal of the series will be to show how changes can move toward a "Green Movement" in mental health systems.
What is a Green Movement? A Green Movement respects and supports the choices and interests of people who encounter mental health challenges in order to sustain healthy environments of living and working.
The series will begin on September 17 with an introduction to a Green Movement in Mental Health and how system changes can lead in that direction. The integration of Medicaid health care services in Oregon will be used as an illustration of what worked and what didn't and why.
That will be followed by 9 monthly webinars starting in October which will focus on program improvements and strategies that will move systems forward so that Green Mental Health is the standard of care, not just exemplary but isolated programs.
The 9 webinars will present on these topics:
supported employment as key to adult services
counseling in public schools that help parents and children without resorting to drugs,
trauma-informed care,
changing systems at local, regional, and state levels,
using research to make system change
changing cultures and programs in state hospitals;
decreasing the prescription of psychiatric drugs to children and adolescents;
serving children and families in community settings rather than state hospitals;
expanding peer supports into all systems
