SUMMARY:Peer Support Implementation Community of Practice
DESCRIPTION:Applications are due Friday\, September 25. We will notify applicants by Tuesday\, September 29. \nAre you thinking about integrating peer support services into your organization — or looking to strengthen and expand the peer support services you already offer? Join us for this Community of Practice (COP)\, a facilitated series designed to help your team turn ideas into a concrete\, ready-to-implement plan for integrating peer support services into your organization’s everyday workflow. \nWe’ll be using tools from the NIATx process improvement model throughout — completing an organizational self-assessment\, defining clear aims\, mapping out where peer support services fit within your workflow\, and designing small pilot tests\, wrapping up with a clear written plan. This series doesn’t focus on how to deliver peer support services — it’s about building the roadmap to get there. \nWe encourage you to bring a small team of key players from your organization\, since you’ll be working with colleagues between sessions to gather input\, test ideas\, and build buy-in. This series builds from session to session\, so in order for the project to have its intended impact and be successful\, please plan to have at least 2 team members in attendance throughout. \nHow it works:\nTeams meet every 2 weeks for a facilitated session\, with structured assignments to complete in between. Each team works independently on its own organization’s plan while learning alongside other organizations in the cohort. Across the full COP\, attendees can expect 9 hours of live session time and approximately 25–30 hours of outside-session work\, spread across 6 sessions over roughly 2 months. In order to provide a hands on implementation support experience\, we are accepting a maximum of 25 teams for this community of practice. \nTRAINING SCHEDULE: \nSession 1: October 6\, 2026\, 1:00-2:30 PM CT / 2:00-3:30 PM ET\nSession 2: October 20\, 2026\, 1:00-2:30 PM CT / 2:00-3:30 PM ET\nSession 3: November 3\, 2026\, 1:00-2:30 PM CT / 2:00-3:30 PM ET\nSession 4: November 17\, 2026\, 1:00-2:30 PM CT / 2:00-3:30 PM ET\nSession 5: December 1\, 2026\, 1:00-2:30 PM CT / 2:00-3:30 PM ET\nSession 6: December 15\, 2026\, 1:00-2:30 PM CT / 2:00-3:30 PM ET \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nPrepare to integrate peer support services into your everyday workflow\nLearn and utilize NIATx process improvement tools\nDevelop a roadmap for implementing peer support services\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: \nKris Kelly and Mirna Herrara\, M.A.\, MT-BC\, CPS\, CRP

SUMMARY:Identifying and Addressing Underlying Causes of School Staff Stress and Burnout: A Community of Practice
DESCRIPTION:APPLY NOW! Applications close on Friday\, October 16. \nEight-session series: October 20\, 2026 – February 23\, 2027 \nThis virtual community of practice is open to all states and territories. \nAre you a leader in a school or school district who is concerned about staff well-being? Are you interested in identifying what is causing stress and burnout among school staff\, and then developing a feasible and effective strategy to address it? Join us for this Community of Practice (COP)\, a facilitated series designed to help your team develop a concrete plan to strengthen school staff well-being. \nWe will be applying tools and resources from the Midwest Center for School Mental Health’s toolkit\, Building the Conditions for Staff Well-Being: A Toolkit for Addressing the Root Causes of School Staff Stress and Burnout. Over our 8 sessions\, we will be developing strategies to strengthen organizational readiness and leadership support\, creating an effective design team to oversee this work\, documenting staff experiences\, exploring the root causes of staff stress and burnout\, and launching a small pilot test of an evidence-based strategy to strengthen well-being. Participants will complete the series ready to develop a plan for a larger-scale effort to promote well-being in your school or district. \nOverview\nSchool staff stress and burnout have rapidly worsened in recent years\, with growing concerns about workload\, staffing shortages\, student behavioral and mental health needs\, and other factors. However\, there are ways to effectively identify and address the underlying causes of staff stress. This learning community will engage in a process to understand staff experiences\, conduct a root cause analysis to identify sources of stress\, and pilot test strategies to reduce staff stress. Our focus is on changing organizational conditions that contribute to stress and burnout\, rather than individual strategies for self-care or stress management. \nOur approach is heavily grounded in human-centered design and implementation science\, resulting in an approach that centers staff voice\, addresses causes rather than symptoms\, aligns with local contexts and feasibility\, learns through testing and adaptation\, promotes transparent communication\, and builds the conditions for successful implementation and systems change. \nParticipants will engage in eight 1.5-hour biweekly facilitated sessions that blend community engagement\, presentations\, and peer learning. We encourage you to bring a small team of key players from your organization(including at least one school or district-level administrator)\, since you’ll be working with colleagues between sessions to gather input\, test ideas\, and build buy-in. This series builds from session to session\, so please plan to have at least 2 team members in attendance at each session. \nStructured assignments will be completed between sessions. Each team will work independently on their plan for their school or district\, while learning alongside other organizations in the cohort. Attendees can expect 12 hours of live learning sessions and approximately 60-80 hours of outside-session work across four months of expert-led technical assistance through this series. \nSeries Schedule:\nTuesdays\, noon–1:30 p.m. ET / 11 a.m.–12:30 p.m. CT\nOctober 20: Setting the Stage\nNovember 10: Building a Team\nNovember 24: Gathering Staff Input\nDecember 8: Gathering Staff Input\, cont.\n*Holiday Break*\nJanuary 12: Setting Priorities\nJanuary 26: Selecting Strategies\nFebruary 9: Developing a Pilot Plan\nFebruary 23: Planning for Next Steps \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \n\nStrengthen organizational conditions to promote success (such as readiness\, leadership support\, and a strong team)\nCollect staff input and prioritize the most significant causes of school staff stress and burnout\nDevelop and launch a pilot test of a strategy designed to reduce stress and burnout\nDevelop a roadmap for an organization-wide staff well-being initiative\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: Cheryl Holm-Hansen\, PhD\, and Mark Sander\, PsyD\, Midwest Center for School Mental Health \n  \n

SUMMARY:Clinical Supervision Learning Community
DESCRIPTION:The application period for this event is now closed.\nThis is a regional event for organizations and practitioners in HHS Regions 5 and 7 \n(IA\, IL\, IN\, KS\, MI\, MN\, MO\, NE\, OH\, and WI). \n______________________________ \nElevate Your Supervision Practice — and Earn 18 CEUs!\nAccepting applications through May 15th\, 2026.  Space is limited—apply now! \nAcceptance letters will be sent by May 22\, 2026. \nAre you ready to strengthen your supervision skills\, support your team more effectively\, and earn 18 Continuing Education Units (CEUs)? \nThe Clinical Supervision Learning Community is a 7-month\, expert-led program designed for clinical supervisors working in fast-paced\, resource-limited community mental health settings. This unique opportunity combines interactive training\, individualized coaching\, and peer learning to help supervisors implement evidence-based practices (EBPs) while fostering workforce resilience and retention. \nWhy is this important?\nImplementation science demonstrates that successful adoption and sustainability of EBPs require more than initial training—they depend on structured\, ongoing support. Clinical supervision is one of the most effective implementation strategies for bridging the gap between research and practice. Supervisors act as key “implementation champions\,” reinforcing fidelity\, troubleshooting barriers\, and promoting continuous quality improvement. Without supervision informed by these principles\, EBPs often fail to translate into consistent practice\, leading to diminished effectiveness and staff burnout. \nThis program leverages proven implementation strategies—such as coaching\, data-driven feedback\, and responsive adaptation—to ensure that evidence-informed practices are not only learned but consistently applied and sustained over time. A recent study demonstrated evidence that supervisors who used effective strategies in supervision had stronger relationships with supervisees\, which\, in turn\, were associated with lower supervisee intent to leave their position. Participants will gain practical tools to align supervision with licensure standards\, foster reflective practice\, and build resilience within their teams. \nProgram Highlights: \n\n3-hour initial training plus 3 individual and 6 group coaching sessions\nTotal commitment: 18 hours over seven months\nSmall cohort of 6–8 peers for meaningful engagement\n18 CE credits available\n\nTrainer: Mimi Choy-Brown\, PhD\, MSW \nSeries & Coaching Schedule\n**Please note that participants can choose the date and time for their 1-hour individual coaching sessions.

SUMMARY:Fidelity in Peer Support Programming
DESCRIPTION:Important: This learning community accepts applications on a rolling basis. Applications may be submitted at any time throughout the year. Because of how our event calendar is configured\, this opportunity appears on the calendar on the first Tuesday of each month; however\, this does not represent a program start date. Cohort start dates are scheduled based on organizational readiness and participant interest. \nThe Fidelity in Peer Support Programming Learning Community is designed for organizations that employ or collaborate with peer supporters to provide Peer Services. Please fill out all the answers as best as you can\, even if you are unsure if your response would qualify you for the cohort. \nThrough guided discussions\, scenario analysis\, and collaborative planning\, participants will explore the unique role of peer support in contrast to other support roles\, examine internal dynamics\, and develop strategies to maintain the integrity and effectiveness of peer support services. \nParticipants will reflect on their organizational practices\, share real-world experiences\, and co-create action plans to support peer supporters while avoiding role drift. The series will also include breakout sessions for deeper dialogue and policy planning\, ensuring that peer support remains true to its values while aligning with organizational goals. \nThis cohort has three sessions and a workbook to complete. \n\nSession 1:  What Makes Peer Support Unique?\nSession 2:  Keeping Peer Roles on Track\nSession 3:  Building a Plan for Organizational Success\n\nInterested in joining? Complete the application below\, and a member of our team will follow up to discuss whether the program is a good fit for your organization. \n  \nMultiple people from each organization will be able to join the cohort\, though at least one must be in a leadership/supervisory position. \nIf accepted into the cohort\, you will be assigned work to complete before the first session. This will be utilized during the first session.

SUMMARY:Clinical Supervision Learning Community
DESCRIPTION:The application period for this event is now closed.\nThis is a regional event for organizations and practitioners in HHS Regions 5 and 7 \n(IA\, IL\, IN\, KS\, MI\, MN\, MO\, NE\, OH\, and WI). \n______________________________ \nElevate Your Supervision Practice — and Earn 18 CEUs!\nAccepting applications through May 15th\, 2026.  Space is limited—apply now! \nAcceptance letters will be sent by May 22\, 2026. \nAre you ready to strengthen your supervision skills\, support your team more effectively\, and earn 18 Continuing Education Units (CEUs)? \nThe Clinical Supervision Learning Community is a 7-month\, expert-led program designed for clinical supervisors working in fast-paced\, resource-limited community mental health settings. This unique opportunity combines interactive training\, individualized coaching\, and peer learning to help supervisors implement evidence-based practices (EBPs) while fostering workforce resilience and retention. \nWhy is this important?\nImplementation science demonstrates that successful adoption and sustainability of EBPs require more than initial training—they depend on structured\, ongoing support. Clinical supervision is one of the most effective implementation strategies for bridging the gap between research and practice. Supervisors act as key “implementation champions\,” reinforcing fidelity\, troubleshooting barriers\, and promoting continuous quality improvement. Without supervision informed by these principles\, EBPs often fail to translate into consistent practice\, leading to diminished effectiveness and staff burnout. \nThis program leverages proven implementation strategies—such as coaching\, data-driven feedback\, and responsive adaptation—to ensure that evidence-informed practices are not only learned but consistently applied and sustained over time. A recent study demonstrated evidence that supervisors who used effective strategies in supervision had stronger relationships with supervisees\, which\, in turn\, were associated with lower supervisee intent to leave their position. Participants will gain practical tools to align supervision with licensure standards\, foster reflective practice\, and build resilience within their teams. \nProgram Highlights: \n\n3-hour initial training plus 3 individual and 6 group coaching sessions\nTotal commitment: 18 hours over seven months\nSmall cohort of 6–8 peers for meaningful engagement\n18 CE credits available\n\nTrainer: Mimi Choy-Brown\, PhD\, MSW \nSeries & Coaching Schedule\n**Please note that participants can choose the date and time for their 1-hour individual coaching sessions.

SUMMARY:Meaningfully Engaging and Integrating Partners Into Community Mental Health Services: A Learning Community
DESCRIPTION:APPLICATION DEADLINE: FRIDAY\, AUGUST 14\, 2026\nAre you a mental health leader looking to build stronger partnerships with the people and communities your organization serves? \nAre you looking for practical strategies to engage community members as true\, meaningful partners in planning\, implementing\, evaluating\, and sustaining mental health services?  \nCMHIS and our five bi-regional Hubs invite you to apply to join a new\, free learning community starting in September 2026 focused on meaningfully engaging and integrating partners into community mental health services. This series offers a practical\, collaborative opportunity to enhance your organization’s approach to community engagement and learn from others in the field\, so you can better meet the needs of those you serve. \nOverview\nParticipation in planning\, implementing\, and evaluating health interventions is a fundamental right for all\, and that includes the people and communities that mental health organizations serve. This learning community is grounded in that principle. \nParticipants will engage in a six-session\, biweekly experience that blends community engagement practice\, implementation science\, and peer learning. Together\, we will explore how to build the authentic partnerships needed to provide mental health services that truly meet community needs\, and how to sustain that work over time. \nAcross all six sessions\, participants will apply the CMHIS Partner Engagement Guide\, including its seven principles and seven partnering steps\, as a practical framework for engaging and integrating partners into community mental health services. By the end of the learning community\, you will have developed (or strengthened) a partner engagement strategic plan that can help guide meaningful collaboration throughout the planning\, implementation\, and evaluation of your community’s mental health services. \nLearning Community Schedule\nThe Learning Community will meet for two hours\, every other week on Thursdays at 11am PT / 1pm CT / 2pm ET. Please see the full list of session dates below. \nSession 1: September 10\, 2026 \nSession 2: September 24\, 2026 \nSession 3: October 8\, 2026 \nSession 4: October 22\, 2026 \nSession 5: November 5\, 2026 \nSession 6: November 19\, 2026 \nNOTE: This event is open to all states and territories.

SUMMARY:Increasing access and reducing stigma: Supporting students to utilize university mental health services
DESCRIPTION:Campus mental health support only works when students know it exists\, trust it\, and can access it. This interactive session explores barriers to service access\, campus referral pathways\, stigma\, and student-centered outreach strategies. Participants will leave with practical tools to identify gaps\, strengthen communication\, and create an action plan to better connect students with mental health resources. \nThis series will help participants examine student mental health service access from both a systems perspective and a student experience perspective. Participants will explore how stigma\, communication gaps\, service design\, campus culture\, and referral pathways influence whether students know about\, trust\, and use available mental health supports. The focus on three major areas: 1) Understanding barriers to access and help seeking. 2) Engaging the campus community to assess needs. 3) Stigma reduction through strategic communication/outreach. \nThis series meets three successive times on August 19\, 26\, and September 2nd from 11:00 a.m. ET – noon ET\, with additional office hour support September 9th from 11 a.m. ET – noon ET.  \nThis event is open to attendees from ME\, NH\, VT\, CT\, MA\, RI\, NY\, NJ\, PR\, and the USVI.

SUMMARY:Clinical Supervision Learning Community
DESCRIPTION:The application period for this event is now closed.\nThis is a regional event for organizations and practitioners in HHS Regions 5 and 7 \n(IA\, IL\, IN\, KS\, MI\, MN\, MO\, NE\, OH\, and WI). \n______________________________ \nElevate Your Supervision Practice — and Earn 18 CEUs!\nAccepting applications through May 15th\, 2026.  Space is limited—apply now! \nAcceptance letters will be sent by May 22\, 2026. \nAre you ready to strengthen your supervision skills\, support your team more effectively\, and earn 18 Continuing Education Units (CEUs)? \nThe Clinical Supervision Learning Community is a 7-month\, expert-led program designed for clinical supervisors working in fast-paced\, resource-limited community mental health settings. This unique opportunity combines interactive training\, individualized coaching\, and peer learning to help supervisors implement evidence-based practices (EBPs) while fostering workforce resilience and retention. \nWhy is this important?\nImplementation science demonstrates that successful adoption and sustainability of EBPs require more than initial training—they depend on structured\, ongoing support. Clinical supervision is one of the most effective implementation strategies for bridging the gap between research and practice. Supervisors act as key “implementation champions\,” reinforcing fidelity\, troubleshooting barriers\, and promoting continuous quality improvement. Without supervision informed by these principles\, EBPs often fail to translate into consistent practice\, leading to diminished effectiveness and staff burnout. \nThis program leverages proven implementation strategies—such as coaching\, data-driven feedback\, and responsive adaptation—to ensure that evidence-informed practices are not only learned but consistently applied and sustained over time. A recent study demonstrated evidence that supervisors who used effective strategies in supervision had stronger relationships with supervisees\, which\, in turn\, were associated with lower supervisee intent to leave their position. Participants will gain practical tools to align supervision with licensure standards\, foster reflective practice\, and build resilience within their teams. \nProgram Highlights: \n\n3-hour initial training plus 3 individual and 6 group coaching sessions\nTotal commitment: 18 hours over seven months\nSmall cohort of 6–8 peers for meaningful engagement\n18 CE credits available\n\nTrainer: Mimi Choy-Brown\, PhD\, MSW \nSeries & Coaching Schedule\n**Please note that participants can choose the date and time for their 1-hour individual coaching sessions.

SUMMARY:Increasing access and reducing stigma: Supporting students to utilize university mental health services
DESCRIPTION:Campus mental health support only works when students know it exists\, trust it\, and can access it. This interactive session explores barriers to service access\, campus referral pathways\, stigma\, and student-centered outreach strategies. Participants will leave with practical tools to identify gaps\, strengthen communication\, and create an action plan to better connect students with mental health resources. \nThis series will help participants examine student mental health service access from both a systems perspective and a student experience perspective. Participants will explore how stigma\, communication gaps\, service design\, campus culture\, and referral pathways influence whether students know about\, trust\, and use available mental health supports. The focus on three major areas: 1) Understanding barriers to access and help seeking. 2) Engaging the campus community to assess needs. 3) Stigma reduction through strategic communication/outreach. \nThis series meets three successive times on August 19\, 26\, and September 2nd from 11:00 a.m. ET – noon ET\, with additional office hour support September 9th from 11 a.m. ET – noon ET.  \nThis event is open to attendees from ME\, NH\, VT\, CT\, MA\, RI\, NY\, NJ\, PR\, and the USVI.

SUMMARY:Making It Work: Implementing Evidence-Based Practices in Real-World Settings
DESCRIPTION:Evidence-based behavioral health interventions can improve outcomes\, but successful implementation requires more than selecting the right practice. Leaders\, directors\, and implementers play a critical role in creating the systems\, structures\, and supports needed to ensure these interventions are delivered effectively and sustained over time. This learning series provides a bird’s-eye view of the most widely used evidence-based practices\, explores common barriers and facilitators to implementation\, and offers practical tools from implementation science to support adoption\, implementation\, evaluation\, and long-term sustainability. Drawing on years of experience supporting implementation efforts\, facilitator Dr. Nilaja Green\, will share practical insights\, actionable resources\, and lessons learned from the field. Attendees will gain strategies for building systems that support high-quality behavioral health services with lasting impact while collaborating with colleagues to apply their knowledge and skills to real-world scenarios. \nLearning objectives:  \n\nProvide overview of most common evidence-based practices in behavioral health settings.\nExplore common barriers and facilitators to effective implementation of these practices.\nDevelop strategies\, using tools from implementation science\, to support and sustain these practices.\n\nSession details \nDates: Monday\, August 17 & Monday\, August 24 \nTimes: noon – 1:00 p.m. (ET) | 11 a.m. – noon (CT) | 10 – 11:00 a.m. (MT) | 9 – 10:00 a.m. (PT) \nThis event is open to all states and territories. \nIndividuals with disabilities who need sign language interpreting\, CART\, or other reasonable accommodations to participate in this event can contact the East Coast Hub at eastcoast@cmhisupport.org.
