Are you looking for support in identifying factors that influence the successful implementation of effective mental health services, and strategies to navigate them? Join us for this two-part interactive series exploring this topic and its application in your setting. Whether you are new to navigating supports and barriers to implementation or you are looking to improve your existing practices, this series is for you! We encourage you to bring a small group of key players from your organization; consider including those who are instrumental in preparing, implementing, and sustaining practices. This series is designed to build from session 1 through session 2, so please plan to have at least one person from your organization in attendance throughout.

Session 1 will take place on September 9 from 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. ET (w/ optional support 2:00 – 2:30) and include a topical overview, followed by group collaboration and exploration of resources. Attendees will be invited to apply these resources to their program or broader systems of care context.

Session 2 will take place on September 23 from 1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. ET (w/ optional support 2:00 – 2:30) and allow for a deeper dive into your application of resources from Session 1 and feedback from the Northeast Atlantic and Caribbean Hub and from fellow participants. Attendees will develop a vision for their future implementation efforts and will identify the next steps to move closer to that goal.

Learning Objectives:

• Define factors influencing program implementation and their role in the successful delivery of effective mental health practices.
• Explore practical strategies for identifying and addressing factors influencing implementation within your setting.
• Identify and apply resources and strategies to address roadblocks and key drivers for implementation success within your setting.
