SUMMARY:Making it work: Implementing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in real world settings
DESCRIPTION:Implementing and delivering CBT in real world settings can present challenges that can interrupt efficacy and make programs harder to sustain. Everything from resource management\, staffing shortages\, managing crises and lacking resources can undermine the efforts and intentions of even the most well-trained leaders. This 3-hour workshop (two 90-minute sessions) is part didactic and part experiential\, aimed to provide tools\, resources and opportunities to collaboratively tackle some of the most common challenges clinical directors face when trying to apply evidence based mental health programming in community-based clinics and settings. \nParticipants will: \n1. Receive a refresher on CBT’s essential components for the treatment of mood disorders (including assessments) and apply them to leadership. \n2. Gain tools for identifying barriers and facilitators of CBT in alternative or community settings\, including clinician development. \n3. Collaborate on problem solving some of the most common challenges to effective program implementation in these settings. \nSession Dates/Times: \nDecember 10 | 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM (session 1) and \nDecember 17 | 12:00 PM – 1:30 PM (session 2) \n  \nThis event is being offered to HHS Regions 3 and 4\, which include Alabama\, Delaware\, the District of Columbia\, Florida\, Georgia\, Kentucky\, Maryland\, Mississippi\, North Carolina\, Pennsylvania\, South Carolina\, Tennessee\, Virginia\, and West Virginia.

Using NIATx MAPS dimensions\, this session helps leaders identify what motivates participation\, how trust is built\, and where barriers arise\, laying the groundwork for lasting system improvement. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nExplain how NIATx Principle #1 informs person and community-centered implementation in behavioral health.\nIdentify key community dimensions such as Power Distance\, Achievement vs. Collaboration\, and Community vs. Individual Orientation that influence engagement and access.\nUse NIATx MAPS tools to describe the behavioral and relational patterns of the communities they serve to strengthen alignment between services and needs.\n\nTool: The NIATx Cultural Dimensions Tool\n\n \n  \nSession 2: From Intuition to Intention – Building Community-Responsive Systems \nPresenters: Mark Sanders and Alfredo Cerrato \nTime: 11:00 AM–12:30 PM CT \nDate: 1-21-2026 \nMany organizations already respond naturally to their community’s needs\, but their success often depends on intuition rather than a defined process. This session helps leaders translate those intuitive practices into intentional\, data-informed strategies. Through examples of proven programs from across the country\, participants will see how community-responsive systems can increase engagement\, retention\, and outcomes. Leaders will leave with practical tools to turn existing strengths into structured improvement strategies grounded in NIATx MAPS principles. \nObjectives: \n\nRecognize how current organizational practices already reflect community alignment and person-centered engagement.\nExamine successful national examples that demonstrate how systematic community responsiveness improves behavioral health outcomes.\nDevelop an actionable plan to transform intuitive approaches into intentional\, repeatable processes using NIATx MAPS.\n\nTool: The NIATx Charter and the NIATx eLearning Course \n  \nSession 3: Partnering with Community Leadership for Sustainable Implementation \nPresenters: Yengyee Lor and Alfredo Cerrato \nTime: 11:00 AM–12:30 PM CT \nDate: 1-28-2026 \nSustainable change in behavioral health systems depends on trusted partnerships with community leaders\, both formal and informal. This session teaches participants how to identify leadership dynamics within different communities and how to engage those leaders to support mental health implementation efforts. Using NIATx MAPS\, participants will learn how to align leadership engagement with person and community-centered principles to foster shared ownership and long-term impact. \nObjectives: \n\nIdentify leadership patterns that influence decision-making\, trust\, and collaboration within communities served.\nApply engagement techniques that build authentic partnerships and support mutual accountability for mental health goals.\nLearn to design messaging specific to multiple audiences\, recognizing that the leader of each audience is often the first to respond\, and tailor outreach to support effective\, lasting engagement.\n\nTool: Community Dimensions and Language Charting Template \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.

SUMMARY:Evidence-Based Practice Implementation Support
DESCRIPTION:When we think about starting a new evidence-based practice (EBP) in our organization\, we usually focus on the training needed. Training is\, of course\, necessary to commence a new practice. But training alone is not sufficient to ensure implementation and sustainment. Too often organizations fail to sustain EBPs after having spent a high level of resources learning how to do them. Research has shown that implementation tools are critical to ensuring the new EBP is implemented with fidelity and in a manner that will ensure sustainability. EBP success requires dual fidelity to both the EBP practice standards and implementation standards. \nThis 6-part series consists of four 90-minute learning sessions & two individualized organizational coaching sessions that will provide the framework\, tools\, and guidance needed for your organization’s implementation efforts. The series is structured to provide individualized technical assistance that will support your team’s movement beyond the “what” of EBP to the “how” of sustainable implementation strategy. \nLearning Objectives: \nParticipants will learn: \n\nThe core elements of evidence-based implementation that ensure dual fidelity to both EBP and implementation strategy research\nHow to use implementation process tools to develop sustainable EBP implementation\nGain insight into the team process elements that are required for effective team leadership in EBP implementation\n\n  \nSeries Schedule \nParticipants only need to attend ONE of the individualized organizational coaching sessions–either Feb. 24 -or- Mar. 24. \nFeb. 10\, 10–11:30 AM CT – Virtual Learning Session \nFeb. 17\, 10–11:30 AM CT – Virtual Learning Session \nFeb\, 24\, 10–11:30 AM CT – Individualized Organizational Coaching Session \nMar. 10\, 10–11:30 AM CT – Virtual Learning Session \nMar. 17\, 10–11:30 AM CT – Virtual Learning Session \nMar. 24\, 10–11:30 AM CT – Individualized Organizational Coaching Session \n  \nNote: You only need to register once to attend the entire series \n  \nACCREDITATION 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 6 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:De-Implementation and Beyond: Creating Space for Evidence-Based Practices Amid Workforce Burnout
DESCRIPTION:Sometimes implementation fails because the behavioral health workforce is already exhausted and overwhelmed. Asking practitioners to add “one more thing” can feel like adding bricks onto an already maxed-out structure. Organizational change and the implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs) require a system-level effort and an understanding that these efforts can create a psychological component for staff. This session will demonstrate how leadership can help staff focus on fidelity\, implementation\, and sustainability using trauma-informed principles as their organization works towards implementing effective change. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nHow to use trauma-informed principles to implement organizational change and advance employee readiness\nTips on how to balance EBP implementation work with client care\nUnderstanding the concept of “de-implementation” where organizations identify practices that should be discontinued\, reduced\, or replaced because they are harmful\, ineffective\, or have served their purpose\nIdentifying current services and determining whether those practices should be “de-implemented” to make way for EBP implementation\n\nThis event is being offered to HHS Regions 5 and 7; Illinois\, Indiana\, Iowa\, Kansas\, Michigan\, Minnesota\, Missouri\, Nebraska\, Ohio\, and Wisconsin.

SUMMARY:Evidence-Based Practice Implementation Support
DESCRIPTION:When we think about starting a new evidence-based practice (EBP) in our organization\, we usually focus on the training needed. Training is\, of course\, necessary to commence a new practice. But training alone is not sufficient to ensure implementation and sustainment. Too often organizations fail to sustain EBPs after having spent a high level of resources learning how to do them. Research has shown that implementation tools are critical to ensuring the new EBP is implemented with fidelity and in a manner that will ensure sustainability. EBP success requires dual fidelity to both the EBP practice standards and implementation standards. \nThis 6-part series consists of four 90-minute learning sessions & two individualized organizational coaching sessions that will provide the framework\, tools\, and guidance needed for your organization’s implementation efforts. The series is structured to provide individualized technical assistance that will support your team’s movement beyond the “what” of EBP to the “how” of sustainable implementation strategy. \nLearning Objectives: \nParticipants will learn: \n\nThe core elements of evidence-based implementation that ensure dual fidelity to both EBP and implementation strategy research\nHow to use implementation process tools to develop sustainable EBP implementation\nGain insight into the team process elements that are required for effective team leadership in EBP implementation\n\n  \nSeries Schedule \nParticipants only need to attend ONE of the individualized organizational coaching sessions–either Feb. 24 -or- Mar. 24. \nFeb. 10\, 10–11:30 AM CT – Virtual Learning Session \nFeb. 17\, 10–11:30 AM CT – Virtual Learning Session \nFeb\, 24\, 10–11:30 AM CT – Individualized Organizational Coaching Session \nMar. 10\, 10–11:30 AM CT – Virtual Learning Session \nMar. 17\, 10–11:30 AM CT – Virtual Learning Session \nMar. 24\, 10–11:30 AM CT – Individualized Organizational Coaching Session \n  \nNote: You only need to register once to attend the entire series \n  \nACCREDITATION 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 6 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: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:Understanding and Assessing Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Community Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Join the East Coast Hub for a 3-part series that explores how emerging Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies\, from rule-based chatbots to advanced large language models and multimodal systems\, are reshaping the landscape of mental health care. It reviews the opportunities and limitations of AI tools as they move toward community and clinical settings. We will examine key issues\, including safety\, accuracy\, hallucinations\, regulatory considerations\, and real-world performance\, using current research findings and case examples. The session provides a practical framework for clinic and program leaders and administrators to appraise AI systems critically\, understand their underlying mechanisms\, and consider the risks/benefits of integrating them into care. \nSession detailsMarch 4 | 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. (ET) \nMarch 11 | 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. (ET) \nMarch 18 | 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. (ET) \n  \n*This event is open to all states and territories. \n*Individuals with disabilities who need sign language interpreting\, CART\, or other reasonable accommodations to participate in this event can contact the organizer at eastcoast@cmhisupport.org.
