NJAMHAA's 501(c)(3), the New Jersey Mental Health Institute (NJMHI), established the NJMHI Leadership Academy for Behavioral Healthcare Providers to present opportunities for emerging leaders in the mental healthcare, substance use disorder (SUD) and intellectual/developmental disabilities services fields to advance in their careers and succeed as future leaders. This year-long program is effectively developing future leaders in all positions — clinical, administrative, information technology, legal, finance, human resources, etc. — for successful professional advancement. In addition to building their skills for future leadership roles, mentees contribute to their organizations’ long-term sustainability and improve the quality and consistency of care provided to the individuals served.
This is a highly impactful, cost-effective investment to make not only in staff's professional development, but also in your organizations and the individuals you serve!
The fee is only $950 per employee at agencies that are NJAMHAA members and only $3,000 for nonmembers.
* Each mentee will be matched with a mentor from the behavioral healthcare field and a coach from another industry to benefit from their diverse expertise, perspectives and experiences.
* Mentees will have monthly sessions, either in person or virtual, with their coaches and mentors.
* Plus, NJMHI will host additional presentations to further enhance the value of the Academy experience for mentees, as well as the mentors and coaches.
There are only 14 more mentee slots for the next cohort that will begin in the fall. Applications are due September 22, 2025.
