Great conference but we simply couldn’t go to                                   what I learned at this session has so many practical applications, wish
        all the sessions we wanted to.                                                       there was a better way I could capture it all.


                                                I wish my cFo had been at this one!

                                           with more than 100 sessions in a power-packed curriculum, it’s hard to decide which
                                           sessions to attend and which ones to give up! Good news, you no longer have to make
                                           those tough choices. attend select sessions live, and get the rest in a virtual package you
                                           can enjoy back home.

                                           audio recordings (synchronized to Powerpoint) of the best sessions from every track are
                                           available on cD-roM or for online download after the conference. synchronized audio
                                           recordings recreate the experience of being at the live session — capturing the speaker
                                           presentation as well as discussions and Q&a.

                                           share with staff and board members. Plus, staff can earn ce and cMes just by listening to

Welcome to the National Council’s
40th Annual Conference
                                                        Dear Colleague:

                                                        For leaders and learners passionate about improving behavioral health, the National
                                                        Council’s Annual Conference is the most powerful event of the year. This uniquely
                                                        energizing conference draws approximately 2,000 participants from around the
                                                        country and the world.

                                                        In celebration of our 40th Annual Conference — and in the midst of economic
                                                        difficulties and social uncertainties — we are offering unparalleled opportunities
                                                        to reignite your energy by learning and teaching among talented and optimistic
                                                        colleagues who share your vision and passion. You learn how your organization
                                                        can step up the pace in implementing real-world solutions that improve consumer
                                                        outcomes, population health, and costs.

                       We have come a long way since our community came together in 1970 for the 1st Annual Conference. In this, our
                       40th year, we take some time to reflect on the road we’ve traveled and to celebrate our successes. And then, we’ll
                       turn our eyes to the future and dare to aim far higher. We are by no means done.

                       I encourage you to take full advantage of your conference time — books, movies, workshops, and institutes offer
                       ideas that are infectious and results that are exciting and inspiring. We’re thrilled with our keynote speakers and
                       thought leaders and we have a great deal to learn from each of them. But the real “stars” of the event are people like
                       you — participants who bring and generously share their experiences, successes, failures, enthusiasm, and hope with
                       the rest of us. I am confident that you’ll leave with a wealth of new ideas and connections.

                       Enjoy the conference and enjoy the magic of Disney! And then tell me how we did — email me at
                       LindaR@thenationalcouncil.org with your feedback and your suggestions for the 41st National Council
                       Conference, San Diego, CA, May 2–4, 2011.

impact on those who loved him the most. She interviews his siblings

chronicles a harrowing and difficult journey. The film creates closure
for its creators as well as its audience.

                        How far would you travel to heal someone
                        you love? When his seven-year-old son
                        Rowan was diagnosed with autism, Rupert
                        was torn by grief and shame, as though
                        he had cursed his child by giving him
                        faulty genes. He watched horrified, as
                        his son began to drift away to another
                        place and traditional therapies had little
                        effect. Rupert had to find a way back
                        into Rowan’s world, into his mind — and
                        he got help from a horse named Betsy.
                        Join Rupert, his wife Kristy Neff — a
psychology professor, and Rowan on their impossible adventure
in Mongolia, where they sought help from horses and shamanic
healing to help Rowan connect with the world.

                       Administrator, Pam Hyde has identified
                       ten strategic initiatives to advance the

safety net in implementing them. The strategic initiatives cover
a range of issues —prevention of substance abuse and mental
illness, trauma-informed services, support of military families,
housing and services for homeless persons, boosting employment
opportunities for people with mental and substance use disorders,
equality with all other health conditions for the prevention and
treatment of mental and substance use disorders, adoption of
health information technology, workforce development, data and
outcomes, and increased public awareness and support for mental
health and substance use issues.

                                              of Success
                                              Malcolm Gladwell, Staff Writer, The New Yorker magazine
                                              Room: Coronado H/J
                                              Author of Outliers, The Tipping Point, Blink, and What the Dog Saw,
                                              and a staff writer for The New Yorker, Malcolm Gladwell helps us think
                                              about the world a little differently.
                                              One of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People, he interprets new
                                              ideas in the social sciences and makes them understandable, practical,
                                              and applicable to business. He overturns many of our conventional
                                              notions about what makes a person successful. He makes sense of
                                              the complexities of life. And he is a captivating storyteller, funny
                                              and ironic.
                                              In this session, Malcolm Gladwell talks about “outliers,” helping us
                                              understand how much of a group project success is. He says, “When
                                              outliers become outliers it is not just because of their own efforts. It’s
                                              because of the contributions of lots of different people and lots of
                                              different circumstances— and that means that we, as a society, have
                                              more control about who succeeds—and how many of us succeed—than
                                              we think. That’s an amazingly hopeful and uplifting idea.”

                                              Harlem Children’s Zone
                                              Geoffrey Canada, President and CEO,
                                              Harlem Children’s Zone
                                              Room: Coronado H/J
                                              As a child growing up in New York’s South Bronx, Geoffrey Canada
                                              believed that Superman would come and clean up his neighborhood
                                              and was shattered when his mom dissolved the myth. But today, the
                                              miracles he has wrought in Harlem bear testimony to Canada’s own
                                              status as superhero, as the community problem solver we all want to
                                              be. The safety net he has created in Harlem is woven so tightly that
                                              children in the neighborhood just can’t slip through.
                                              As Canada said in an interview with National Council Magazine, “We
                                              not only support physical rebuilding of communities, but we also work
                                              with the adults in our program to help them reclaim their communities
                                              as their own, to drive change. We believe that for children to do
                                              well, their families have to do well. And for families, to do well, their
                                              community must do well.” Join us to learn how Canada succeeded in
                                              community rebuilding and why the President has allocated $10 million
                                              to replicate Canada’s model in the form of Promise Neighborhoods

Performance-based contracting is the new buzzword in health and               Behavioral healthcare
human services. Is it simply a fad? Or a term that means so many
different things to so many different people that it confuses and
abuses providers rather than improve care and accountability? Join
this workshop to uncover the true meaning of performance-based
contracting and develop and advocate for a framework to use this
approach to improve care, increase accountability, and strengthen
the delivery system. Whether performance-based contracting is
on your horizon or currently being used to “beat up” provider
organizations in your community, this is a workshop you don’t
want to miss.

                                              WGS1: The Magic of Disney’s Leadership
                                              Lee Cockerell, Former Executive Vice President of Operations, Walt
                                              Disney World Resort
                                              Room: Coronado H/J
                                              Leave Disney knowing how YOU can create “magic.” Lee Cockerell can show you how —
                                              through ten common-sense leadership strategies. He is known for delivering ideas about
                                              leadership in a commonsense way that can really help you improve your effectiveness at
                                              work, at home, and in your community.
                                              Cockerell says, “There is a big difference between Very Good and Excellent, and the reason
                                              the computer can’t figure it out is that it takes the Human Factor to make an experience
                                              Excellent. As Walt said, it requires people to make the dream a reality.” The stories that
                                              helped Cockerell shape Disney’s incredible success during his years as Executive Vice
                                              President of Operations is an eye-opener for every healthcare organization, regardless of
                                              size or mission.

                            Kathryn Power closes the 40th National Council Conference
                            and opens the 2010 National GAINS Conference by turning
                            the spotlight on justice-involved people with co-occurring
                            mental and substance use disorders. She calls for action
                            to resolve the crisis in our nation’s jails and prisons where
   hundreds of thousands of men and women with mental illnesses and addictions
   are incarcerated because they didn’t get the treatments they desperately need. She
   highlights effective programs that are giving justice-involved persons with mental
   illness and addiction disorders a life in the community.
   Power calls on leaders in all communities to come together, pool resources,
   and work as one to end the tragedy in our jails and prisons.

    Welcome to theNational Council’s 40th Annual Conference Dear Colleague: For leaders and learners passionate about improving behavioral health, the National Council’s Annual Conference is the most powerful event of the year. This uniquely energizing conference draws approximately 2,000 participants from around the country and the world. In celebration of our 40th Annual Conference — and in the midst of economic difficulties and social uncertainties — we are offering unparalleled opportunities to reignite your energy by learning and teaching among talented and optimistic colleagues who share your vision and passion. You learn how your organization can step up the pace in implementing real-world solutions that improve consumer outcomes, population health, and costs. We have come a long way since our community came together in 1970 for the 1st Annual Conference. In this, our 40th year, we take some time to reflect on the road we’ve traveled and to celebrate our successes. And then, we’ll turn our eyes to the future and dare to aim far higher. We are by no means done. I encourage you to take full advantage of your conference time — books, movies, workshops, and institutes offer ideas that are infectious and results that are exciting and inspiring. We’re thrilled with our keynote speakers and thought leaders and we have a great deal to learn from each of them. But the real “stars” of the event are people like you — participants who bring and generously share their experiences, successes, failures, enthusiasm, and hope with the rest of us. I am confident that you’ll leave with a wealth of new ideas and connections. Enjoy the conference and enjoy the magic of Disney! And then tell me how we did — email me at LindaR@thenationalcouncil.org with your feedback and your suggestions for the 41st National Council Conference, San Diego, CA, May 2–4, 2011.

    national council forcommunity Behavioral healthcare Tuesday, March 16 Tuesday Morning General Session 8:30 – 9:30 am TGS1: Outliers: The Story of Success Malcolm Gladwell, Staff Writer, The New Yorker magazine Room: Coronado H/J Author of Outliers, The Tipping Point, Blink, and What the Dog Saw, and a staff writer for The New Yorker, Malcolm Gladwell helps us think about the world a little differently. One of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People, he interprets new ideas in the social sciences and makes them understandable, practical, and applicable to business. He overturns many of our conventional notions about what makes a person successful. He makes sense of the complexities of life. And he is a captivating storyteller, funny and ironic. In this session, Malcolm Gladwell talks about “outliers,” helping us understand how much of a group project success is. He says, “When outliers become outliers it is not just because of their own efforts. It’s because of the contributions of lots of different people and lots of different circumstances— and that means that we, as a society, have more control about who succeeds—and how many of us succeed—than we think. That’s an amazingly hopeful and uplifting idea.” Track: Leadership and Management Playing Next at the International Film Festival Celebrity Meet & Greet with The horse Boy, 7:30 – 9:00 am, Meet Director rupert Issacson Malcolm Gladwell anIMaTeD MInDs, 9:30 – 10:00 am expo hall Movie Theater 9:30 – 10:30 am, Las Ventanas Lounge, Coronado Springs Resort admission for ticket holders only.

    national council forcommunity Behavioral healthcare Tuesday Afternoon General Session 12:45 – 2:15 pm TGS2: One Child at a Time: Harlem Children’s Zone Geoffrey Canada, President and CEO, Harlem Children’s Zone Room: Coronado H/J As a child growing up in New York’s South Bronx, Geoffrey Canada believed that Superman would come and clean up his neighborhood and was shattered when his mom dissolved the myth. But today, the miracles he has wrought in Harlem bear testimony to Canada’s own status as superhero, as the community problem solver we all want to be. The safety net he has created in Harlem is woven so tightly that children in the neighborhood just can’t slip through. As Canada said in an interview with National Council Magazine, “We not only support physical rebuilding of communities, but we also work with the adults in our program to help them reclaim their communities as their own, to drive change.

This poses a potential risk to individuals who attempt, on their own, to overcome the VIVITROL did not include sufficient numbers of subjects age 65 and over to determine whether they blockade by administering large amounts of exogenous opioids. Indeed, any attempt by a patient to respond differently from younger subjects. ADVERSE REACTIONS: In all controlled and uncontrolled trials overcome the antagonism by taking opioids is very dangerous and may lead to fatal overdose. Injury may during the premarketing development of VIVITROL, more than 900 patients with alcohol and/or opioid arise because the plasma concentration of exogenous opioids attained immediately following their acute dependence have been treated with VIVITROL. Approximately 400 patients have been treated for 6 administration may be sufficient to overcome the competitive receptor blockade. As a consequence, the months or more, and 230 for 1 year or longer.
