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:Strengthen Mental Health Outcomes with Measurement‑Based Care (MBC): Overview for OCBH Members
DESCRIPTION:Interested in improving mental health outcomes and using actionable data? We are inviting Oregon Council for Behavioral Health (OCBH) members to a free introductory session on Measurement-Based Care (MBC)\, how it might fit into your mental health service settings\, and hear about a new MBC Learning Collaborative offered in partnership with OCBH. \nMeasurement-Based Care (MBC) uses brief\, client‑reported measures to track progress and guide mental health treatment decisions. This approach helps clinicians deliver more responsive\, collaborative care\, and supports stronger mental health outcomes for the people you serve. \nFor many organizations delivering mental health services\, the challenge isn’t deciding what to do\, it’s knowing whether it’s truly working for the people you serve. MBC helps clinicians and clients move beyond guesswork\, building a practical approach that fits your workflows and makes it easier to see what’s working in real time. MBC can make it easier for clinicians to see client gains\, adjust care more confidently\, and feel more effective \nJoin us June 16th! You will get an overview of MBC and learn about a FREE Learning Collaborative designed to support practical and sustainable MBC implementation. Topics will include: \n\nEssential principles of MBC and evidence that this clinical practice improves clinical outcomes\nMBC implementation\, common challenges\, and strategies to overcome barriers\nShare experiences with MBC\, as well as support and resource needs\nLearn about the Learning Collaborative offered by CMHIS and OCBH\, as well as have the opportunity to provide input on the structure of the collaborative starting in August 2026.\n\nThis opportunity is open to OCBH members. Please email pacificwest@cmhisupport.org with any questions. \n

SUMMARY:Grief and Crisis Management: Building a Grief-Ready Workforce
DESCRIPTION:*NOTE: This is a 2-part series. Register once to attend both sessions. \nMay 26\, 2026: 90-minute learning session \nMay 28\, 2026: 60-minute consultation session \n\nWorkforce conditions and organizational readiness are critical factors influencing the successful implementation and continuity of mental health services. Drawing on national research and field experience from crisis recovery and workforce initiatives\, this session introduces the concept of grief readiness as an organizational approach that helps agencies maintain stability during periods of loss\, crisis\, and high stress. Participants will examine how unaddressed grief and cumulative loss can affect workforce functioning\, implementation conditions\, and service delivery\, and will explore practical leadership and supervision strategies that strengthen organizational readiness while supporting staff.  \nA follow-up coaching session on May 28 will provide participants with an opportunity to apply workforce-focused implementation concepts within their own organizational context. Participants will reflect on workforce conditions affecting service delivery\, identify areas where grief or cumulative stress may influence implementation\, and explore realistic strategies to strengthen organizational supports within their sphere of influence. Coaching emphasizes practical next steps that support both workforce functioning and continuity of services. \nLearning Objectives \nBy the end of the information session\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe how workforce experiences\, including grief and loss\, influence implementation conditions within mental health programs.\nIdentify leadership or supervision practices that support workforce stability during periods of disruption or stress.\nRecognize practical strategies that can strengthen organizational readiness for continued service delivery.\n\nBy the end of the coaching session\, participants will be able to: \n\nAssess workforce-related factors that influence implementation within their organization. \nIdentify one strategy to strengthen organizational readiness or workforce support. \nDevelop a practical next step to support sustained service delivery. \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. Session materials will be available on the CMHIS Learning Lab within 1 week after the event. \n\nFacilitator: \n \nLeora Wolf-Prusan\, EdD\nCenter for Applied Research Solutions (CARS)

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.
