SUMMARY:Evidence-Based Practice Implementation Support
DESCRIPTION:When we think about starting a new evidence-based practice (EBP) in our organization\, we usually focus on the training needed. Training is\, of course\, necessary to commence a new practice. But training alone is not sufficient to ensure implementation and sustainment. Too often organizations fail to sustain EBPs after having spent a high level of resources learning how to do them. Research has shown that implementation tools are critical to ensuring the new EBP is implemented with fidelity and in a manner that will ensure sustainability. EBP success requires dual fidelity to both the EBP practice standards and implementation standards. \nThis 6-part series consists of four 90-minute learning sessions & two individualized organizational coaching sessions that will provide the framework\, tools\, and guidance needed for your organization’s implementation efforts. The series is structured to provide individualized technical assistance that will support your team’s movement beyond the “what” of EBP to the “how” of sustainable implementation strategy. \nLearning Objectives: \nParticipants will learn: \n\nThe core elements of evidence-based implementation that ensure dual fidelity to both EBP and implementation strategy research\nHow to use implementation process tools to develop sustainable EBP implementation\nGain insight into the team process elements that are required for effective team leadership in EBP implementation\n\n  \nSeries Schedule \nParticipants only need to attend ONE of the individualized organizational coaching sessions–either Feb. 24 -or- Mar. 24. \nFeb. 10\, 10–11:30 AM CT – Virtual Learning Session \nFeb. 17\, 10–11:30 AM CT – Virtual Learning Session \nFeb\, 24\, 10–11:30 AM CT – Individualized Organizational Coaching Session \nMar. 10\, 10–11:30 AM CT – Virtual Learning Session \nMar. 17\, 10–11:30 AM CT – Virtual Learning Session \nMar. 24\, 10–11:30 AM CT – Individualized Organizational Coaching Session \n  \nNote: You only need to register once to attend the entire series \n  \nACCREDITATION STATEMENT \nIn support of improving patient care\, Stanford Medicine is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME)\, the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE)\, and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC)\, to provide continuing education for the healthcare team. \nAmerican Medical Association (AMA) \nStanford Medicine designates this live activity for a maximum of 6 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)TM.  Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. \nAmerican Psychological Association (APA) \nContinuing Education (CE) credits for psychologists are provided through the co-sponsorship of the American Psychological Association (APA) Office of Continuing Education in Psychology (CEP). The APA CEP Office maintains responsibly for the content of the programs. \nASWB Approved Continuing Education Credit (ACE) – Social Work Credit \nAs a Jointly Accredited Organization\, Stanford Medicine is approved to offer social work continuing education by the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program. Organizations\, not individual courses\, are approved under this program. Regulatory boards have the final authority on courses accepted for continuing education credit.

SUMMARY:De-Implementation and Beyond: Creating Space for Evidence-Based Practices Amid Workforce Burnout
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes implementation fails because the behavioral health workforce is already exhausted and overwhelmed. Asking practitioners to add “one more thing” can feel like adding bricks onto an already maxed-out structure. Organizational change and the implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs) require a system-level effort and an understanding that these efforts can create a psychological component for staff. This session will demonstrate how leadership can help staff focus on fidelity\, implementation\, and sustainability using trauma-informed principles as their organization works towards implementing effective change. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nHow to use trauma-informed principles to implement organizational change and advance employee readiness\nTips on how to balance EBP implementation work with client care\nUnderstanding the concept of “de-implementation” where organizations identify practices that should be discontinued\, reduced\, or replaced because they are harmful\, ineffective\, or have served their purpose\nIdentifying current services and determining whether those practices should be “de-implemented” to make way for EBP implementation\n\nThis event is being offered to HHS Regions 5 and 7; Illinois\, Indiana\, Iowa\, Kansas\, Michigan\, Minnesota\, Missouri\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, and Wisconsin.

SUMMARY:Implementation Support for Community and Person-Centered Mental Health Services
DESCRIPTION:This three-part series helps behavioral health leaders strengthen implementation practices that truly reflect the people and communities they serve. Each 1.5-hour session focuses on practical approaches to understanding community context\, turning insight into intentional action\, and partnering with leaders to build sustainable systems of care. Participants will leave with tools from the NIATx Model for Advanced Performance Strategies (MAPS) framework that connect improvement strategies to meaningful community impact and person-centered outcomes. \nSeries Schedule \n\nSession 1: Jan 21\, 2026 @ 11:00-12:30 PM CT\nSession 2: Jan 28\, 2026 @ 11:00-12:30 PM CT\nSession 3: Feb 4\, 2026 @ 11:00-12:30 PM CT\n\nNote: You only need to register once to attend all sessions in this series. \n  \nSession 1: Knowing Your Community and Customer – Applying NIATx Principle #1 \nPresenters: Mat Roosa and Alfredo Cerrato \nTime: 11:00 AM–12:30 PM CT \nDate: 1-14-2026 \nEffective implementation begins with understanding who you serve. This session guides behavioral health leaders through NIATx Principle #1\, Understand and Involve the Customer\, and applies it to both individual and community contexts. Participants will explore how shared values\, expectations\, and decision-making patterns shape service engagement. Using NIATx MAPS dimensions\, this session helps leaders identify what motivates participation\, how trust is built\, and where barriers arise\, laying the groundwork for lasting system improvement. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nExplain how NIATx Principle #1 informs person and community-centered implementation in behavioral health.\nIdentify key community dimensions such as Power Distance\, Achievement vs. Collaboration\, and Community vs. Individual Orientation that influence engagement and access.\nUse NIATx MAPS tools to describe the behavioral and relational patterns of the communities they serve to strengthen alignment between services and needs.\n\nTool: The NIATx Cultural Dimensions Tool\n\n \n  \nSession 2: From Intuition to Intention – Building Community-Responsive Systems \nPresenters: Mark Sanders and Alfredo Cerrato \nTime: 11:00 AM–12:30 PM CT \nDate: 1-21-2026 \nMany organizations already respond naturally to their community’s needs\, but their success often depends on intuition rather than a defined process. This session helps leaders translate those intuitive practices into intentional\, data-informed strategies. Through examples of proven programs from across the country\, participants will see how community-responsive systems can increase engagement\, retention\, and outcomes. Leaders will leave with practical tools to turn existing strengths into structured improvement strategies grounded in NIATx MAPS principles. \nObjectives: \n\nRecognize how current organizational practices already reflect community alignment and person-centered engagement.\nExamine successful national examples that demonstrate how systematic community responsiveness improves behavioral health outcomes.\nDevelop an actionable plan to transform intuitive approaches into intentional\, repeatable processes using NIATx MAPS.\n\nTool: The NIATx Charter and the NIATx eLearning Course \n  \nSession 3: Partnering with Community Leadership for Sustainable Implementation \nPresenters: Yengyee Lor and Alfredo Cerrato \nTime: 11:00 AM–12:30 PM CT \nDate: 1-28-2026 \nSustainable change in behavioral health systems depends on trusted partnerships with community leaders\, both formal and informal. This session teaches participants how to identify leadership dynamics within different communities and how to engage those leaders to support mental health implementation efforts. Using NIATx MAPS\, participants will learn how to align leadership engagement with person and community-centered principles to foster shared ownership and long-term impact. \nObjectives: \n\nIdentify leadership patterns that influence decision-making\, trust\, and collaboration within communities served.\nApply engagement techniques that build authentic partnerships and support mutual accountability for mental health goals.\nLearn to design messaging specific to multiple audiences\, recognizing that the leader of each audience is often the first to respond\, and tailor outreach to support effective\, lasting engagement.\n\nTool: Community Dimensions and Language Charting Template \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.

SUMMARY:Implementation Support for Community and Person-Centered Mental Health Services
DESCRIPTION:This three-part series helps behavioral health leaders strengthen implementation practices that truly reflect the people and communities they serve. Each 1.5-hour session focuses on practical approaches to understanding community context\, turning insight into intentional action\, and partnering with leaders to build sustainable systems of care. Participants will leave with tools from the NIATx Model for Advanced Performance Strategies (MAPS) framework that connect improvement strategies to meaningful community impact and person-centered outcomes. \nSeries Schedule \n\nSession 1: Jan 21\, 2026 @ 11:00-12:30 PM CT\nSession 2: Jan 28\, 2026 @ 11:00-12:30 PM CT\nSession 3: Feb 4\, 2026 @ 11:00-12:30 PM CT\n\nNote: You only need to register once to attend all sessions in this series. \n  \nSession 1: Knowing Your Community and Customer – Applying NIATx Principle #1 \nPresenters: Mat Roosa and Alfredo Cerrato \nTime: 11:00 AM–12:30 PM CT \nDate: 1-14-2026 \nEffective implementation begins with understanding who you serve. This session guides behavioral health leaders through NIATx Principle #1\, Understand and Involve the Customer\, and applies it to both individual and community contexts. Participants will explore how shared values\, expectations\, and decision-making patterns shape service engagement. Using NIATx MAPS dimensions\, this session helps leaders identify what motivates participation\, how trust is built\, and where barriers arise\, laying the groundwork for lasting system improvement. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nExplain how NIATx Principle #1 informs person and community-centered implementation in behavioral health.\nIdentify key community dimensions such as Power Distance\, Achievement vs. Collaboration\, and Community vs. Individual Orientation that influence engagement and access.\nUse NIATx MAPS tools to describe the behavioral and relational patterns of the communities they serve to strengthen alignment between services and needs.\n\nTool: The NIATx Cultural Dimensions Tool\n\n \n  \nSession 2: From Intuition to Intention – Building Community-Responsive Systems \nPresenters: Mark Sanders and Alfredo Cerrato \nTime: 11:00 AM–12:30 PM CT \nDate: 1-21-2026 \nMany organizations already respond naturally to their community’s needs\, but their success often depends on intuition rather than a defined process. This session helps leaders translate those intuitive practices into intentional\, data-informed strategies. Through examples of proven programs from across the country\, participants will see how community-responsive systems can increase engagement\, retention\, and outcomes. Leaders will leave with practical tools to turn existing strengths into structured improvement strategies grounded in NIATx MAPS principles. \nObjectives: \n\nRecognize how current organizational practices already reflect community alignment and person-centered engagement.\nExamine successful national examples that demonstrate how systematic community responsiveness improves behavioral health outcomes.\nDevelop an actionable plan to transform intuitive approaches into intentional\, repeatable processes using NIATx MAPS.\n\nTool: The NIATx Charter and the NIATx eLearning Course \n  \nSession 3: Partnering with Community Leadership for Sustainable Implementation \nPresenters: Yengyee Lor and Alfredo Cerrato \nTime: 11:00 AM–12:30 PM CT \nDate: 1-28-2026 \nSustainable change in behavioral health systems depends on trusted partnerships with community leaders\, both formal and informal. This session teaches participants how to identify leadership dynamics within different communities and how to engage those leaders to support mental health implementation efforts. Using NIATx MAPS\, participants will learn how to align leadership engagement with person and community-centered principles to foster shared ownership and long-term impact. \nObjectives: \n\nIdentify leadership patterns that influence decision-making\, trust\, and collaboration within communities served.\nApply engagement techniques that build authentic partnerships and support mutual accountability for mental health goals.\nLearn to design messaging specific to multiple audiences\, recognizing that the leader of each audience is often the first to respond\, and tailor outreach to support effective\, lasting engagement.\n\nTool: Community Dimensions and Language Charting Template \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.
