SUMMARY:From Outcomes to Impact: Program Evaluation in Mental Health Settings
DESCRIPTION:How do we know if our programs\, practices\, and services are having the impact we hoped for? Effective program evaluation can offer insight into what is working well and what needs adjustment. The results of a comprehensive program evaluation can also be an invaluable tool in resource allocation\, informing funding decisions by both internal and external interested parties.  \nThis one-hour learning session is designed as introduction to program evaluation within mental health organizations or systems of care. Participants will receive strategies and practical tools for conducting a program evaluation in their setting and sharing the findings in meaningful ways.  \nThis session will also highlight our upcoming Program Evaluation Learning Collaborative\, an opportunity for mental health organizations and systems leaders to apply to receive intensive support around designing and implementing a program evaluation tailored to their setting. \nThis event is being offered to HHS Regions 1 and 2 (ME\, NH\, VT\, MA\, CT\, RI\, NY\, NJ\, PR\, USVI).

SUMMARY:Fidelity in the Implementation of IPS Supported Employment Services: A Learning Community
DESCRIPTION:This event is now closed.  Please complete our support request form to connect with someone for individualized support.\n\n\nAre you a director\, leader\, or supervisor of employment services in a mental health organization or program?  \nAre you able to implement changes and innovations within the organization or program?   \nAre you interested in learning how to identify what supports the implementation of Individual Placement and Support (IPS) Supported Employment to maintain and sustain program fidelity?   \nThe Northeast Atlantic and Caribbean Hub of CMHIS invites you to apply to participate in a free\, innovative learning community designed to equip leaders with the tools needed to implement\, maintain\, and sustain fidelity to IPS\, while learning strategies to identify what supports and hinders its success.  Learn from a leader in IPS services\, Sarah Swanson from the IPS Employment Center at RFMH\, Inc.\, while networking with your colleagues to implement services that align with IPS principles and fidelity.    \nOverview  \nThis four-session learning community\, focused on the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model of Supported Employment\, was designed to help your program or agency identify and implement strategies to support your program’s success.  Designed for supervisors and program/agency leaders\, the series addresses foundational elements\, skills\, and strategies to better align program practice implementation with IPS fidelity.    \nLearning community participants will review the research supporting IPS and the eight core IPS practice principles\, and better understand community-based services and their essential role in supported employment. Special emphasis will be paid to identifying activities that support the implementation of IPS principles and exploring barriers to successful implementation.   \nAll team members are invited and encouraged to attend this overview session to build a shared understanding among those involved in the organization’s provision and implementation of employment services.   \nSessions two and three will focus on the IPS Fidelity Scale. These two sessions are open to employment service leaders\, directors\, supervisors\, and others in positions to implement changes within the program and the organization. In this session\, we will examine the rationale behind key fidelity items\, and the significant role agency leadership plays in supporting IPS implementation. We will dive deeper into the specific strategies that support implementation and explore ways to address barriers.    \nThe final session addresses building and maintaining relationships with employers\, which has often been identified as a challenge to successful implementation. Participants will review factors that support the implementation of this fidelity item and how to navigate barriers to its implementation.  \n\n\n\n\nSession Dates: 3/25/26\, 4/1/26\, 4/8/26\, 4/15/26\n\n\nTime: 10:00 – 11:30 EST\n\n\n\nTimeline:\nMonday\, March 2 – Applications open\nWednesday\, March 18 – Applications due\nBy Monday\, March 23 – Applicants notified of selection status\nWednesday\, March 25 – Series begins\n\n\n\nExpectations:\nIf selected to join us\, participants will be expected to: \n\nParticipate live in all four sessions.\nIdentify a team in your organization to participate in the sessions. Sessions one and four are open to all staff\, including direct service practitioners\, so please provide time for your direct service staff to attend these two sessions.\nContribute to the learning community by sharing your experiences.\n\nHow to Apply  \nInterested applicants should complete the online application by 11:59 PM EST on 3/13/26. \nNotification of Acceptance  \nAll who submit a request may be accepted for participation\, depending on the overall number of requests received.

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.

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. \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:What Is Adaptation and Why Does It Matter? Guidance for Adapting Mental Health Practices and Programs
DESCRIPTION:Implementing mental health practices in real-world settings rarely goes exactly as planned. Adaptation is a necessary and powerful part of successful implementation. This series brings together nationally recognized implementation science experts to help behavioral health leaders\, practitioners\, and program developers understand how to thoughtfully adapt mental health practices while maintaining fidelity to what works.  \nAcross three interactive\, one‑hour sessions\, participants will explore why adaptation matters\, how it unfolds across different phases of implementation\, and how to track and evaluate adaptations to strengthen impact over time. If you’re launching a new practice\, refining an existing program\, or supporting system-level implementation\, this series offers practical guidance to help programs adapt to their context and more effectively meet the needs of the people they serve.  \nThis series is open to all states and territories. \nSession Dates:\n\nSession 1: Wednesday\, June 24 ~ 1-2:00 pm Pacific\nSession 2: Wednesday\, July 8 ~ 1-2:00 pm Pacific\nSession 3: Wednesday\, July 22 ~ 1-2:00 pm Pacific\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\nUnderstand the concept of adaptation and its importance in the implementation of mental health practices and programs. \nIdentify key principles of approaches to adapting evidence-based mental health practices. \nLearn about practical methods to facilitate the evaluation and analysis process.\n\n\n\nPresenters:\n \nAna Baumann\, PhD\, Shannon Wiltsey Stirman\, PhD\, and JD Smith\, PhD

SUMMARY:Evaluations that Matter: Turning Program Evaluation into Insight and Action
DESCRIPTION:Evaluations that Matter is a no-cost\, one-part national learning session designed to introduce practical\, beginner-level strategies for building and using program evaluations within community and behavioral health settings. This session is open to all states and territories. \nJune 30 | 1:00–2:00* PM ET \n(10:00–11:00 AM PT | 11:00 AM–12:00 PM MT | 12:00–1:00 PM CT) \nEvent Description \nProgram evaluation can help organizations understand how programs work and whether programs are effective and making an impact. But its value depends on whether the findings are understood and used. Join the East Coast Hub for this introductory session that will explore why program evaluation matters and how individuals can move beyond data collection to translate evaluation results into meaningful insight and action. \nParticipants will learn practical strategies to support the use of evaluation findings and examine common barriers that can limit their impact. This session is well suited for individuals who are new to program evaluation or those seeking to strengthen how evaluation informs their programs\, initiatives\, or organizations. \n*An optional 25-minute facilitated breakout session will follow the main presentation for participants interested in deeper discussion and applied learning with peers. \nLearning Objectives \nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe why evaluation matters for program improvement and decision-making\nList at least three strategies to enhance the use of evaluation findings\nIdentify common barriers to using evaluation findings in practice\n\nFormat and Engagement \nThis live\, virtual one-hour session will combine brief didactic instruction with opportunities for participant engagement. An optional 25-minute structured breakout session will be offered immediately following the presentation for attendees who wish to participate in small-group discussion and application.
