Busy leaders, real projects, and practical tools. Implementing change is complex, but it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. 

This learning community brings behavioral health leaders together to address real-world challenges using proven implementation strategies and collaborative support. 8 CEs available!*

You will bring an identified mental health implementation project to work on during this series. Whether you’re planning, implementing, or sustaining a mental health practice or program, this learning community will contribute new perspectives, actionable tools, peer insights, and a clear roadmap for lasting change.

You’ll work on your own priorities, apply practical strategies, and leave with actionable next steps. Plus, receive two free tailored consultation sessions and access to implementation tools from the Pacific West Hub and CMHIS.

Teams are welcome to join together with each person registering separately.
