NOTE: This workshop is open to all states and territories. Please apply by Monday, June 8.

This applied workshop is designed for participants who want to move from conceptual interest to concrete action. Building on content from Sessions 1 and 2, this session will guide participants through a structured implementation planning process, helping them assess readiness, clarify goals, and identify next steps for launching or strengthening single-session interventions within their organizations. The session will include a mix of brief didactic content and interactive planning exercises. A subset of participants may receive targeted, hands-on feedback on their implementation plans, while other attendees observe and learn from real-time implementation support. 

Attendance at Sessions 1 and 2 (or watching the recordings) is required to participate in Session 3. Please email pacificwest@cmhisupport.org if you would like to receive the recordings. Apply by Monday, June 8.

Learning Objectives 

• Assess organizational readiness for implementing single-session interventions 
• Develop an initial, context-specific implementation action plan 
• Identify concrete next steps, resource needs, and potential implementation risks in your context
