Moving From Barriers to Action: Launching or Revitalizing Your Mental Health Programs
Date: July 29 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm PDT
Are you running into challenges implementing a mental health practice or program, struggling to get the results you want, or not sure where to start? Most mental health practices and programs don’t stall or fail because they are ineffective. They unravel in the gap between the practice and the environment where it lands. Factors influencing implementation inform, support, or hinder efforts to deliver effective practices and maintain them over time.
Join the Pacific West Hub for an exciting three-part series on examining how supports (facilitators) and challenges (barriers) impact the success of mental health programs and practices! This interactive series goes beyond theory to help you assess what’s getting in the way and, more importantly, what to do about it. You’ll learn how to identify the key barriers and existing facilitators shaping your implementation efforts, use a practical team-based tool to prioritize what matters most, and choose strategies that actually fit your setting. Whether you’re launching something new or trying to revive a struggling effort, you’ll walk away with a clear, actionable path forward.
This opportunity is open to all states and territories.
Session Details (Wednesdays, 1-2:00 p.m. Pacific)

Learning Objectives:
- Describe the types of factors (barriers/facilitators) that influence implementation of a mental health practice and strategies that support successful implementation.
- Apply the Inventory of Factors Affecting Successful Implementation and Sustainment (IFASIS) for identifying factors influencing implementation and deciding which to leverage or address to effectively implement a mental health practice.
