Sunday, April 26, 2026
9:00 AM - 5:00 PM MDT
Location: 702
In today’s polarized climate, nonprofit behavioral health leaders must navigate unprecedented pressures and constraints. They face political pushback, workforce fatigue and shifting expectations. Research shows that the most effective leaders engage in ongoing learning and self-reflection. They recognize that the changing environment requires new skills and approaches. Even the most seasoned leaders can learn from emerging frameworks and from one another when there is dedicated time and space for both.
This interactive session will draw on attachment-based and trauma-informed leadership frameworks to explore how executives can serve as “secure bases” for their teams, cultivating trust and moral resilience while sustaining their missions. Participants will reflect on their own leadership stance, examine the factors shaping organizational climate, explore the array of constraints that influence their current reality, and identify strategies to align values with operations.
Through discussion, reflection and peer exchange, attendees will take away practical tools to strengthen availability, sensitivity, acceptance, cooperation and belonging within their teams. They’ll also gain a host of strategies to navigate turbulent times and sustain clarity and courage in the face of resistance.
