SUMMARY:Mental Health Implementation in Action: A Practical Approach to Lasting Change
DESCRIPTION:Busy leaders\, real projects\, and practical tools. Implementing change is complex\, but it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming.  \nThis learning community brings behavioral health leaders together to address real-world challenges using proven implementation strategies and collaborative support. 8 CEs available!* \nYou 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. \nEach session combines concise frameworks on core implementation topics\, peer learning\, and hands-on planning time. 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. \nTeams are welcome to join together with each person registering separately. \nChange Project Learning Objectives: \n\nArticulate specific implementation barriers and facilitators.\nApply evidence-based implementation frameworks and strategies.\nIdentify and utilize tools and resources to plan\, implement and/or sustain change efforts.\nProblem-solve creatively to address challenges.\nIdentify actionable next steps for your current priorities.\n\n\nSeries Schedule (all Thursdays 12-1 PM HI / 2-3 PM PT / 3-4 PM MT) \n \n\n\nSession\nDate\nTopic\n\n \n\n1\nFebruary 12\, 2026\nIntro and Community Engagement & Needs Assessment\n\n\n2\nFebruary 19\, 2026\nFactors that Influence Implementation\n\n\n3\nMarch 12\, 2026\nImplementation Strategies\n\n\n4\nMarch 19\, 2026\nMeasurement-Based Care\n\n\n5\nApril 2\, 2026\nCommunications & Social Marketing Solutions\n\n\n6\nApril 9\, 2026\nContinuous Quality Improvement\n\n\n7\nApril 16\, 2026\nProgram Evaluation\n\n\n8\nApril 30\, 2026\nSustaining Service Delivery & Wrap-Up\n\n\n\nEligibility and Expectations  \n\nLeaders working in HHS Regions 9 or 10: AZ\, CA\, HI\, NV\, AS\, MP\, FM\, GU\, MH\, PW\, AK\, ID\, OR\, or WA.\nAccess to reliable internet\, camera\, and microphone to participate actively.\nAttend at least six of the eight sessions.\n\nHow to Apply \nInterested applicants should complete this application by 11:59 p.m. PT on Friday\, February 6.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Numbers: Data Storytelling for Continuous Quality Improvement
DESCRIPTION:*NOTE: This is a 2-part series. Register once to attend both sessions. \nApril 28\, 2026: 90-minute learning session \nApril 30\, 2026: 60-minute consultation session \n\nJoin us on Tuesday\, April 28\, to learn more about practical approaches for demonstrating program impact by combining quantitative data\, qualitative insights\, and partner/community input. Participants will explore how to use data not only for reporting\, but also to communicate results in a way that supports shared decision-making and continuous quality improvement (CQI). The session will highlight simple strategies for aligning data collection with program goals and translating findings into clear\, action-oriented messages for different audiences. \nThe Thursday\, April 30 coaching session will support participants in applying learning session concepts to a real program question or decision. Participants will be invited to complete a brief pre-session reflection as “homework” to identify one priority program objective\, two simple data points\, and one qualitative prompt to bring into the session. During coaching\, participants will refine their evaluation/CQI question\, draft a short data story outline\, and identify one feasible next step to strengthen how data are used to guide improvement and communicate results. \nLearning Objectives \nBy the end of the learning session\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe how quantitative and qualitative data can be combined to communicate a fuller picture of program impact.\nApply a basic data storytelling structure to frame findings in accessible and decision-relevant ways.\nIdentify practical methods for aligning data collection with program objectives and CQI priorities.\n\nBy the end of the coaching session\, participants will be able to:   \n\nTranslate a real program objective or decision into a focused evaluation or CQI question. \nIdentify a minimal set of quantitative and qualitative data inputs that support interpretation and action. \nDraft a brief data story outline and select one realistic next step for strengthening data use in routine practice. \n\nThis event is open to individuals working in HHS Regions 9 or 10: AZ\, CA\, HI\, NV\, AS\, MP\, FM\, GU\, MH\, PW\, AK\, ID\, OR\, or WA. \n\nFacilitators: \n \nKristi Silva\, MA\, MS\, and Chidinma Ogojiaku\, MPH\nCenter for Applied Research Solutions (CARS)
