Call-to-Action Series

The Call-to-Action (CTA) Series is a year-round extension of our annual Re-Imagining Behavioral Health: Race, Equity & Social Justice Conference. These virtual events highlight critical topics at the intersection of behavioral health, racial equity, and social justice—with each session offering actionable steps for systems transformation.

The series is a cornerstone of the Behavioral Health Institute’s mission to confront race, equity & social justice (RESJ) within Washington State’s behavioral healthcare system. Our objective is to facilitate a dynamic learning environment that fosters knowledge expansion, cultivates partnerships, and drives behavioral health systems towards greater equity. Through the CTA series, participants engage in transformative dialogues centered on healing racial trauma, dismantling systemic racism, and addressing social injustices within the realms of mental health and substance use. It’s an opportunity to connect, learn, and collaborate on creating a more inclusive and just behavioral health landscape.

The CTA series is led by the UW Medicine Behavioral Health Institute at Harborview and is funded by the Washington State Health Care Authority. The CTA series is collaborative by design. It includes partners, thought leaders and experts in the fields of race, equity, social justice, and behavioral health throughout Washington state.
