for a Telebehavioral Health System
Room: Neopolitan I
As providers attempt to meet the growing demands of
patient volume with a decreased workforce, especially in

for organizations’ arsenal of programs. Many
telebehavioral health programs can also generate new
revenue streams for organizations. Learn how to design,
implement, and pay for telebehavioral health. Obtain
valuable information on the equipment needed and their
costs, staff training, and workflow issues to consider.

B14 Understanding Gender-Responsive

gender. Hear the unique perspective of a trauma survivor,
Dan Griffin, who uses his life experience to make a difference
in other men’s lives, and Rick Bauer, who shares a
clear, practical way to support men working to recover
from trauma through sound clinical practices.

B15 Generational Differences: What Are
They and Do They Matter?
Room: Neopolitan III
Do your managers have generational clashes? Do your
executives grumble about younger employees? Afraid
your rising stars will leave, frustrated by their bosses’ oldfashioned
work rules or resistance to change? Worried
who will carry your company’s legacy forward after the
baby boomers retire? Generational diversity is our reality:
four generations work side-by-side, each with its own
values, characteristics, and strengths. The best leaders
understand these unique generations and nurture performance,
commitment, and workplace harmony from
each. Learn the best data on generational differences;
recruitment, retention, and management strategies; and
how generational tensions can spark epic innovations.
