Presenter: JC Gonzalez Jr. MBA, PMP, Assistant Vice President, Strategic Planning, Meharry Medical College - School of Global Health

This webinar is designed for healthcare leaders, child and family service providers, behavioral health professionals, organizational leaders, and community organizations seeking practical tools to advance mental health outcomes in sustainable ways. Participants will be introduced to the Mental Health ROI Calculator developed by the School of Global Health at Meharry Medical College, an innovative tool that quantifies the economic and social impact of mental health interventions. The session will explore how investments in mental health are not only ethically important, but also financially responsible: reducing avoidable healthcare costs, improving workforce productivity, strengthening communities, and supporting long-term organizational resilience. Attendees will gain insight into how data-driven decision-making can help bridge the gap between mission and measurable impact.

This webinar is free and open to all as part of the Quarterly Learning Series hosted by ACRC’s Leaders of Color Project, focused on creating positive impact, just policies, and effective practices to benefit children, youth, and families around the world.
