“The Untapped Leaders program and the crucial conversations that are generated from concepts and prompts challenge you professionally and personally. From an exploration of your own identity, reflection of past experiences, and challenging what we have come to know as leadership and community—you are transformed, inspired and made hopeful for the future. Dr. Vazquez-Newsum creates a safe environment for deep reflection of what it means to be a BIPOC leader in the different institutions that we are a part of. I highly recommend the Untapped Leaders Program and see it as a standard in individual and team development for BIPOC leaders and allies “

Our collaboration with the MHTTC Network led to the creation of the "Untapped Leadership: A Wellness Workshop Series." This series was specially designed for BIPOC-identifying school mental health professionals and their allies. It focused on enhancing wellness, leadership skills, and creating supportive networks among peers. This initiative not only empowered participants but also fostered an inclusive environment for sharing and growth, addressing the unique challenges faced by BIPOC individuals in the mental health sector.
Our partnership with Caruso included a multi-session series focused on leadership development at the intersection of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The series kicked off with an organization-wide session on "Uncovering Untapped Leadership: Exercising Contextual Agility to Lead Effectively," setting the stage for a deep dive into identity, intersectionality, systems thinking, and inclusive leadership. By exploring these critical areas, participants developed a understanding of their unique leadership capacities and those of colleagues, learned to navigate organizational dynamics with agility, and devised strategies for inclusive leadership.
