As we start this ongoing journey into Next-Level Leadership together, I want us to start right here: What are our "roots" made of? What will hold us up under any and all conditions? Let's take a fearless and honest look at what the foundation of our leadership rests upon. We must become acutely aware of our strengths, our vulnerabilities, our influences, and our potential roadblocks.

We've designed this new blog feature on our website as an online learning community. We invite you to share insights, questions, and lessons learned from your work in behavioral healthcare, integrated primary healthcare, and related fields that provide services for people with mental illness, substance use disorders, and co-occurring disorders. Join the discussions. Let's help each other achieve our greatest potential! / Produced with support from the Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS).
