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: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: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: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.

DESCRIPTION:Access to behavioral health services is increasingly constrained by workforce shortages\, limited provider pipelines\, and structural barriers that restrict entry into the field. Implementation strategies to expand the mental health workforce are more important than ever. Join the Pacific West Hub as we examine the integration of individuals with bachelor’s degrees into mental health care delivery. \n The session will use Washington State’s Behavioral Health Support Specialist (BHSS) role as a practical example. Participants will be introduced to the policy context\, development timeline\, and the current status of BHSS in Washington\, alongside insights from similar efforts in other states\, to better understand how emerging roles can improve access to care.  \nThe session will highlight key components of BHSS implementation\, including competency frameworks that reflect employer expectations for knowledge\, skills\, and professional attitudes\, as well as efforts to standardize training through evidence-based approaches. Participants will explore how BHSS-aligned curriculum can be flexibly integrated into existing four-year degree programs and made broadly accessible. Additional discussion will address credentialing and regulatory considerations\, organizational readiness\, and common barriers to integration\, while identifying practical opportunities to support adoption and strengthen the behavioral health workforce.  \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. \nLearning objectives: \n\nExplain the rationale for developing a bachelor level mental health provider working under supervision to address access to care and workforce shortages.  \nIdentify curricular and policy standards that support implementation of a bachelor-level mental health workforce.  \nIdentify facilitators and barriers to integration of a bachelor level provider.  \n\n\nPresenters\n \nAlexandra Rose\, PhD\, Anna Ratzliff\, MD\, PhD\, and Bill O’Connell\, EdD
