✨Updates from Mid-America PTTC

Prevention is Better Together

Last chance to register!!!

The first session, Workforce Innovation - Social Impact and Remote Learning is this Thursday, June 16th from 12-1 p.m. Jonathan Liebert will lead a discussion about how the pandemic has permanently changed how we think about work. As the U.S. enters year three of working through the pandemic, people are channeling their internal reflections and shaping them into a new way of working and trying to find meaning in work and the companies that they work for. Listen to the interview with our guest and then sign up for this exciting and insightful Community of Practice.

Look for future registration opportunities to the rest of our Leadership Institute Community of Practice sessions. Each month, from 12:00 to 1:00 PM CST, the TTC’s will host these free 60-minute virtual Zoom sessions to engage leaders in dialogue on the following topics:

· Equity and Inclusion in the Workforce (7/21 & 8/18)

· Relationship Building (9/15)

These collaborative efforts between the Mid-America Addiction Technology Transfer Center (ATTC), Mid-America Mental Health Technology Transfer Center (MHTTC), and Mid-America Prevention Technology Transfer Center (PTTC) will hold space for current and emerging as leaders in these behavioral health disciplines who want to participate in dialogue and begin to create space for our industries leaders of tomorrow.

What is a Community of Practice (CoP)? It's a shared space where questions, challenges, and new ideas are exchanged and where participants walk away refocused.
