SUMMARY:The Interconnected Path to Wellness: Exploring the Influences Shaping Indigenous Mental Health and Driving Implementation
DESCRIPTION:Indigenous mental health is shaped by historical\, cultural\, relational\, and system-level influences. This learning series supports professionals in understanding how these factors impact trust\, engagement\, and outcomes across healthcare\, education\, and community settings. \nAcross six sessions\, participants will explore the lasting effects of the boarding school era\, historical and ongoing trauma\, barriers within care systems\, cultural protocols\, and the essential role of community and culture in healing. The series equips learners with practical ways to adapt and sustain culturally grounded practices that are respectful\, effective\, and responsive within Indigenous contexts. \nSession detailsSessions are 90 minutes and held on the first Thursday of each month:March 5 | April 2 | May 7 | June 4 | July 2 | August 6 \nTime options:11:00–12:30 PT | 12:00–1:30 MT | 1:00–2:30 CT | 2:00–3:30 ET \nParticipants may earn up to 9 CEUs for attending. \nApplication timelineApplication opens: December 16Application closes: January 30Acceptance notifications: February 5 \nThis series is open nationally and designed for professionals and leaders working with Indigenous individuals\, families\, and communities in healthcare\, education\, behavioral health\, and social services. It is especially relevant for teams serving rural\, Tribal\, or underserved populations who want to strengthen culturally grounded\, trauma-informed practices and improve trust\, engagement\, and outcomes.

SUMMARY:Navigating Uncertainty: The Importance of Telling the Story of Your Work
DESCRIPTION:This learning series takes place on May 14 and May 28 from 10:00 – 11:00 AM CST. It is open to the Midwest Region (IL\, IN\, IA\, KS\, MI\, MN\, MO\, NE\, OH\, and WI). \nYou know you’re doing great work\, but how do others know about the great work you’re doing? Being able to tell the story of your work effectively and efficiently is critical for messaging and sustainability. Having a strategy and effective story can also be an invaluable tool in advocating for resource allocation and informing funding decisions by both internal and external interested parties. \nThis 2-hour learning series is designed as an engaged learning opportunity for programs at all stages of implementation. Participants will receive strategies and practical tools for honing the story of your work and presenting the information effectively and efficiently. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nIdentify the benefits of storytelling in times of uncertainty\nExplore options for storytelling products\nConsider opportunities for effectively and efficiently sharing storytelling products\n\nCERTIFICATES: \nRegistrants who fully attend this event or training will receive a certificate of attendance via email within two weeks after the event or training. \nPRESENTERS: \nJanae Goodrich\, MA\, Evaluation Researcher/Principal Investigator at UW Population Health Institute \nKylie Lafayette\, BS\, Evaluation Research Specialist at UW Population Health

SUMMARY:Advancing Access to Mental Health Services through Single Session Interventions
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: This series is open to all states and territories.  \n\nWhat if therapy worked in one visit? Most evidence-based mental health treatments include 8–20 sessions\, yet the average number of visits people receive is one. This mismatch has sparked interest in single-session interventions (SSIs)—structured\, evidence-based programs designed to deliver meaningful benefit in one encounter.  \nJoin the Pacific West Hub for a three-part series that will help leaders of behavioral health organizations and systems understand the potential impact of single-session interventions (SSIs) as an efficient\, evidence-based approach to increasing access to mental health services and improving clinical outcomes. Each 1-hour session focuses on key issues related to selecting\, implementing\, and sustaining SSIs\, with particular attention to fit within community mental health and public-sector settings.  \n\nSession 1: Foundations of SSIs (May 21 ~ 9-10 am Pacific)\nSession 2: Implementation Lessons from the Field (May 28 ~ 9-10 am Pacific)\nSession 3 Workshop: Apply here by June 8 (June 18 ~ 9-10 am Pacific)\n\nParticipants will gain a clear understanding of what SSIs are\, where and when they can be most effective\, identify implementation challenges\, explore methods to encourage real-world use\, and reflect on how local context shapes SSI design\, delivery\, and sustainability. An applied workshop in session three will support participants in moving from conceptual interest to concrete action through a structured implementation planning process.  \nLearning Objectives  \n\nUnderstand the current evidence base supporting SSIs\, including outcomes and settings. \nIdentify common barriers to implementing single-session approaches in community mental health settings. \nLearn practical strategies and implementation tactics that have facilitated successful uptake. \n\n\nMeet the Presenter  \n \nDr. Jessica L. Schleider (she/her) is the Founding Director of the Lab for Scalable Mental Health and Associate Professor of Medical Social Sciences\, Pediatrics\, and Psychology at Northwestern University. She also serves as Director of Digital Services at Northwestern’s Center for Behavioral Intervention Technologies.   Dr. Schleider’s professional mission is to build\, test\, and disseminate scalable mental health solutions that bridge gaps in mental health ecosystems\, with a focus on single-session interventions (SSIs) for youth. In support of her research\, she has secured >$13 million in federal\, foundation\, and industry funding. She has been recognized via numerous national awards for research excellence and innovation\, including the NIH Director’s Early Independence Award. Her work has been featured in media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times\, and she was previously chosen as one of Forbes’ 30 Under 30 in Healthcare.  To support SSI scale-up efforts\, Dr. Schleider regularly consults for national and state-level health care organizations\, digital health and social media companies\, and providers across the globe.  \n\nIndividuals with disabilities who need sign language interpreting\, CART\, or other reasonable accommodations to participate in this event can contact the organizer at pacificwest@cmhisupport.org. Please make requests at least 14 business days before the event. \nThe information gathered in this registration form will not be used for any marketing purposes outside of this event.
