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:Myths\, Metrics\, and Meaning: Measurement-Based Care Skills for Everyday Practice
DESCRIPTION:Myths\, Metrics and Meaning is a no-cost\, national learning session designed to introduce practical\, beginner-level strategies for using measurement-based care within community and behavioral health settings. \nMeasurement-based care (MBC) is a powerful clinical tool to promote client engagement and outcomes in nearly any mental health care treatment plan and service context. MBC is the routine collection and use of client-reported progress and outcome measures throughout treatment to guide a personalized\, client-centered treatment approach that changes with the client and their progress over time. Join this 90-minute national event to learn what MBC is\, what it isn’t\, and how to leverage this practice to reduce dropouts and bring your interventions to the next level. \nLearning Objectives \n\nDefine measurement-based care based on the Collect\, Share\, Act model.\nDescribe the differences between measurement-based care and other uses of client-reported outcome measures such as screening and outcome monitoring.\nGain skills to review and discuss a standardized measure with a client to understand their experience\, mental health need\, and progress\, as well as use that information for shared decision making and treatment planning.\n\nSession Details: \nDate: Tuesday\, September 15 \nTime: 3:00 – 4:30 p.m. ET | 2:00 – 3:30 p.m. CT | 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. MT | noon – 1:30 p.m. PT \nFormat and Engagement: This live\, virtual 90-minute session will combine brief didactic instruction with opportunities for participant engagement. Attendees will also spend time in small\, semi-structured breakout sessions to promote skills application and peer learning. This event is open to all states and territories.

Factors influencing implementation inform\, support\, or hinder efforts to deliver effective practices and maintain them over time.  3 free CEs available!* \nJoin the Pacific West Hub for an exciting three-part series on examining how supports (facilitators) and challenges (barriers) impact the success of mental health programs and practices! This interactive series goes beyond theory to help you assess what’s getting in the way and\, more importantly\, what to do about it. You’ll learn how to identify the key barriers and existing facilitators shaping your implementation efforts\, use a practical team-based tool to prioritize what matters most\, and choose strategies that actually fit your setting.  Whether you’re launching something new or trying to revive a struggling effort\, you’ll walk away with a clear\, actionable path forward.  \nThis opportunity is open to all states and territories. \nSession Details (Wednesdays\, 1-2:00 p.m. Pacific)\n\nSession 1 on July 29: Barriers and Facilitators to Implementation \nSession 2 on August 5: Using the IFASIS to Identify Barriers and Facilitators to Implementation\nSession 3 August 12: Choosing Implementation Strategies Intentionally to Move from Barriers to Action\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe the types of factors (barriers/facilitators) that influence implementation of a mental health practice and strategies that support successful implementation.\nApply the Inventory of Factors Affecting Successful Implementation and Sustainment (IFASIS) for identifying factors influencing implementation and deciding which to leverage or address to effectively implement a mental health practice. \nIdentify and prioritize implementation barriers and facilitators using a practical framework and worksheet\, and select appropriate strategies to support successful implementation in their setting. \n\n\nPresenters\n \nDavid Katz\, PhD\, MPH\, Heather J. Gotham\, PhD\, Rosemary Meza\, PhD\,\nand Hélène Chokron Garneau\, PhD\, MPH \n\n*ACCREDITATION 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 3 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).

SUMMARY:Sustainable Financing of Evidence-Based Mental Health Practices: Tools for a Future-Proof Approach
DESCRIPTION:This event is open to all states and territories. \nSustained delivery of evidence-based practices (EBPs) is essential to large-scale impact of the important programmatic work of mental health service organizations. This 1-hour workshop will provide tools that mental health service organizations can use to identify sustainable financing strategies for EBPs. \nAttendees will learn to assess their programs’ sustainment capacities\, then review the Fiscal Mapping Process\, a strategic planning tool that mental health service organizations can use to guide selection of financing strategies for EBP sustainment. Attendees will review the five steps of the Fiscal Mapping Process (identify resources needed\, specify funding objectives\, select financing strategies\, create fiscal map\, monitor/sustain) and consider how the tool could be applied to plan for sustainable funding in their own projects\, programs and practices. As a case example\, we will discuss the experiences of an example service organization working to sustain a parent training EBP for treating child behavioral disorders. The workshop will be structured\, but include ample opportunities for discussion\, questions\, and active reflection among attendees and presenters. \nPresented by: Alex Dopp & Marylou Gilbert \nIndividuals with disabilities who need to sign language interpreting\, CART\, or other reasonable accommodations to participate in this event can contact the organizer at neatlcaribbean@cmhisupport.org. Please make requests at least 10 business days before the event. \nThe information gathered in this registration form will not be used for any marketing purposes outside of this event.

SUMMARY:How Leaders Can Improve Workplace Climate for Successful Implementation of Mental Health Practices
DESCRIPTION:Implementation of mental health practices and programs occurs within complex\, multilevel systems with many factors that can impede or enhance implementation efforts. For example\, clinical providers who deliver the mental health practice often face direct costs\, time demands\, and limited expertise that hinders implementation. Organizational factors such as resource allocation\, staffing\, and performance monitoring and feedback can also impact implementation. Strong and effective leadership can address these factors and result in the successful implementation and sustainment of mental health programs within and across service systems.  \nJoin the Pacific West Hub for a two-part learning series led by international implementation science experts Mark Ehrhart\, PhD\, Marisa Sklar\, PhD\, and Greg Aarons\, PhD. This series will help leaders in behavioral health organizations and systems understand how effective and aligned leadership at multiple organizational levels and an organizational climate that emphasizes implementation directly influence successful and sustained implementation efforts.    \nEach 1-hour session focuses on key leadership and organizational factors that promote the successful implementation of effective mental health practices or programs. Participants will examine how intentional leadership strategies can address common implementation barriers—such as time limitations\, staffing challenges\, and resource constraints—while fostering an organizational climate that supports learning\, accountability\, and sustainment.  \nThis event is open nationally to all states and territories. If you are not able to attend or want to revisit the content\, recordings and slides will be uploaded to the CMHIS Learning Lab within a few weeks of the event. \nSession 1: Leadership for Implementing Mental Health Practices\nMonday\, June 22\, 2026 ~ 12:30–1:30 pm Pacific  \nSession 2: Building and Sustaining an Implementation Climate that Supports Mental Health Practices and Programs\nMonday\, June 29\, 2026 ~ 12:30–1:30 pm Pacific  \nLearning objectives: \n\nDistinguish general approaches to leadership and climate from those focused specifically on implementation.\nUnderstand the relationship between leadership and climate in enhancing mental health practice implementation.\nIdentify specific actions that improve implementation leadership. \n\n\nPresenters\n \nMark Ehrhart\, PhD\, Marisa Sklar\, PhD\, and Greg Aarons\, PhD

SUMMARY:Advancing Access to Mental Health Services through Single Session Interventions (Workshop)
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: This workshop is open to all states and territories.  \n\nThis applied workshop is designed for participants who want to move from conceptual interest to concrete action. Building on content from Sessions 1 and 2\, this session will guide participants through a structured implementation planning process\, helping them assess readiness\, clarify goals\, and identify next steps for launching or strengthening single-session interventions within their organizations. The session will include a mix of brief didactic content and interactive planning exercises. A subset of participants may receive targeted\, hands-on feedback on their implementation plans\, while other attendees observe and learn from real-time implementation support.  \nAttendance at Sessions 1 and 2 (or watching the recordings) is required to participate in Session 3. Session materials will be available on the CMHIS Learning Lab within 1 week after the event.  \nLearning Objectives  \n\nAssess organizational readiness for implementing single-session interventions \nDevelop an initial\, context-specific implementation action plan \nIdentify concrete next steps\, resource needs\, and potential implementation risks in your context \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.
