Many behavioral health organizations have invested deeply in crisis prevention and intervention. However, far fewer have established clear, sustainable practices for what happens after a critical event. Join the Pacific West Hub for a learning community focused on strengthening “post-intervention” (postvention) practices to help teams process complex situations, share insights, and improve future responses. By formalizing these practices and identifying the barriers and facilitators that influence implementation, organizations can turn challenging experiences into meaningful opportunities for growth, sustainability, and continuous quality improvement.  4.5 FREE CEs available!*

Effective crisis postvention is critical to building psychologically safe environments where staff, clients, and communities feel heard and supported. This training equips providers of mental health services with practical strategies to develop, implement, and sustain postvention practices that enhance communication, knowledge-sharing, and team resilience. Participants will leave with actionable implementation tools to strengthen their organization’s capacity to respond, reflect, and grow together after critical incidents.
