The longstanding workforce crisis in behavioral health is now a full-blown national emergency. Staff turnover in mental health and addiction agencies is at unprecedented levels. There is a severe shortage of candidates for the many open positions in this field. Our Keynote speaker, Dr. Michael Hoge, has been addressing the workforce problems in behavioral health for over two decades. He will briefly review the forces that have created the current workforce emergency and share data on the severity of the problem. He will then describe the innovative actions being taken by selected states across the nation to address this emergency. Similarly, he will offer numerous recommendations regarding strategies that provider agencies, through their leaders, managers, and supervisors, can take to find and keep a skilled workforce.
