Description
Mitigating Bias in Medication-Assisted Treatment: The Integration of Transformational and Collective Leadership Strategies within Administrative and Social Work Practices
Administrative leadership approaches are crucial in how halfway houses implement Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT). Since the mid-19th century, halfway houses have offered services to individuals facing substance use disorders (SUD), promoting accountability and structure. This capstone project aims to address any existing gaps through a systematic literature review, the creation of a conceptual framework, and the practical application of these ideas. The literature review will examine the complicated links between administration, leadership, and halfway house operational performance in opioid use disorder care.
A central question guiding this project is: How do administrative policies and leadership practices influence the effectiveness of halfway houses in integrating MAT and reducing stigma for individuals with OUD? This literature review will analyze how integrating the Collective Leadership Compass (CLC) and Transformational Leadership can promote an adaptive and supportive environment conducive to recovery. The proposed framework seeks to cultivate a more equitable and supportive environment for providers and patients by integrating the principles of transformational leadership, which emphasize vision, inspiration, and support, with those of the collective leadership compass, which promotes inclusivity, collaboration, and shared decision-making. The practice application offers a leadership paradigm that integrates the Collective Leadership Compass (CLC) with Transformational Leadership to cultivate a methodology to mitigate bias within MAT. By applying this new paradigm, a training curriculum has been created to improve the abilities of those working in the social work sector.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this conference, participants will be able to:
- Implement and apply a newly developed theory to their professional practice, The Collective Leadership Transformational Compass.
