The East Coast Hub for Mental Health Implementation Support, in partnership with Kentucky DBHDID leadership, is excited to offer a three-session virtual training that will provide managers with practical project management tools to support the successful implementation of services, programs, and practices. This training series was developed in direct response to requests from DBHDID managers for additional training and support in guiding implementation efforts and supporting their teams. It is designed to strengthen service delivery, improve team coordination, and reduce overwhelm. Whether managing a new initiative or sustaining an existing program, participants will learn foundational project management techniques tailored to the realities of behavioral health work. Hosted by the East Coast Hub, the three 90-minute sessions will focus on real-world application and tools managers can immediately put into practice.

Live sessions will be virtual from 1:00-2:30 PM EST on:

• August 11
• August 25
• September 8

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Describe the foundational principles of project management
• Describe project managers’ mindset, role, and responsibilities
