This month, eMHIC took the opportunity to recognize two outstanding American mental health sector leaders, Dr Brian Hepburn and Professor Andy Greenshaw by inducting them into eMHIC’s prestigious Global Leadership Council.
Professor Andrew Greenshaw was acknowledged for his dedication and commitment to developing the digital mental health domain. Andy, a Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience at the University of Alberta, Canada is tireless in his work and his support of eMHIC’s. His vision and leadership inspire us and ensure we remain focused on working toward meaningful and solutions-focused outcomes for all
Dr. Brian Hepburn is the Executive Director of the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors (NASMHPD). His leadership in spawning the conversation to enable the provision of mental health care for all, at the time of a person’s choosing regardless of whether they live in rural or urban areas is outstanding. This is the humble beginning of an audacious journey to get it right by design.
Andy and Brian were presented with a Korowai, a traditional woven Māori cloak to mark the occasion and acknowledge their induction in a uniquely Kiwi way. The Korowai is worn as a mantle of prestige and honor. It symbolises leadership and includes the obligation to care for people and the environment.
We congratulate both of these leaders and look forward to walking alongside them as we continue to carry out our work.
