Description

Join us for the second event in a transformative four-part Stark Forum Series addressing the most pressing issues affecting the health and well-being of our business communities. On Thursday, June 22, Dr. Anju Mader, Chief Integration Officer for the Behavioral Health Access and Integration Collaborative, will present the latest data on the eight social drivers of health and draw conclusions on steps for businesses to better attract and retain talent.

As a community leader, you have a unique opportunity to drive change, create a healthier workforce, and ultimately realize a positive return on investment for your business.

With social drivers accounting for 50% of overall health, it's more important than ever to take action. Join us to learn how your business or workplace can collaborate and innovate to create a healthier, more resilient workforce and community.

Stephanie Werren, Vice President for Leadership Programs at the Canton Regional Chamber, will guide engagement throughout the forum to further explore the connection between the data presented by Dr. Mader, Chief Integration Officer at Stark County Mental Health and Addiction Recovery, and actionable insights for businesses.

In the current work landscape, it's crucial to adopt a new approach towards supporting workforce mental health that acknowledges it as both a moral obligation and a fundamental tactic for sustaining an employer's most valuable resource - their employees.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and take a step towards improving the health of your workforce and community.

This event can be attended virtually.  A link will be emailed to you prior to the event.

The Behavioral Health Access and Integration Collaborative is a coordinated county wide initiative  that aims to address the socioeconomic and physical barriers to behavioral health access, and creates and implements targeted interventions to increase access entry points. The Collaborative is led by Dr. Anju Mader (Chief Integration Officer), whose position is funded by Aultman Health Foundation, the Stark County Educational Service Center, and Stark County Mental Health and Addiction Recovery. It has an advisory committee whose membership represents the three funders, public health, a commercial healthcare payer, a local foundation, the local children’s hospital, and local behavioral health providers. Stark Mental Health and Addiction Recovery serves as its administrative and fiscal agent.
