Thursday Keynote: “The Grand Challenges: Transformations and Opportunities for Social Work Leadership”
Ron Manderscheid, PhD Executive Director, NACBHDD and NARMH Adjunct Professor, BSPH, JHU
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) continues to transform all of healthcare. For behavioral health, these changes involve major moves toward population health management and toward integrated care delivery, including social services. Changes of this magnitude can be expected to reverberate throughout the field for most of the coming decade. Within this context, the Grand Challenges offer an exceptionally important narrative for social work management going forward. Cluster 1 (Ensure Healthy Development, Close the Health Gap, Stop Family Violence, Advance Long and Productive Lives) addresses fundamental issues in community population health management. Cluster 2 (Eradicate Social Isolation, End Homelessness, Create Social Responses to a Changing Environment, and Harness Technology for Social Good) seeks to improve community population wellbeing management. Cluster 3 (Promote Smart Decarceration, Reduce Extreme Economic Inequality, Build Financial Capability for All, and Achieve Equal Opportunity and Justice) seeks to promote community population equity management. Considered together, the three clusters offer major new opportunities for social work leadership and for the field generally. Social work needs to define a clear vision going forward; it needs to define career trajectories for young social workers in marketable projects; and it needs to engage in societal tasks that contribute to better health, wellbeing, and equity. The Grand Challenges can do this.
