Through a deeper understanding of mental health conditions, trauma, and substance use, leaders will be better prepared to shape policies and mindsets within their agencies that prioritize care, compassion, and community trust. The course sets the groundwork for more advanced strategies in crisis intervention and long-term behavioral health engagement
