SUMMARY:Moving From Barriers to Action: Launching or Revitalizing Your Mental Health Programs
DESCRIPTION:Are you running into challenges implementing a mental health practice or program\, struggling to get the results you want\, or not sure where to start? Most mental health practices and programs don’t stall or fail because they are ineffective. They unravel in the gap between the practice and the environment where it lands. 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:Elevating Mental Health Services with Quality Improvement Approaches
DESCRIPTION:Are you thinking of making changes to the mental health services your program delivers? Wondering where to start and how to work through the process in a structured way? Join us for this two-part interactive series exploring continuous quality improvement (CQI). We will be exploring the use of data for service improvement\, the importance of a collaborative team approach\, helpful tools and strategies\, and the long-term view of CQI. \nWe encourage you to bring a small group of key players from your organization. This series is designed to build from session 1 through session 2\, so please plan to have at least one person from your organization in attendance throughout. \nSession Dates & Times: \nAugust 11th\, 2026 – 9:00 AM PT\, 10:00 AM MT\, 11:00 AM CT\, 12:00 PM ET \nAugust 18th\, 2026 – 9:00 AM PT\, 10:00 AM MT\, 11:00 AM CT\, 12:00 PM ET \nThis event is open to all states and territories.

SUMMARY:Sustaining Success: Building the Infrastructure for Long-Term Service Delivery
DESCRIPTION:*NOTE: This is a 2-part series. Register once to attend both sessions. \nAugust 11\, 2026: 90-minute learning session \nAugust 18\, 2026: 60-minute consultation session \n\nThis learning session focuses on the practical infrastructure needed to sustain services beyond initial implementation or time-limited funding. Participants will explore how staffing models\, operational workflows\, communication practices\, and funding alignment influence long-term service delivery. The session emphasizes sustainment as an active implementation phase\, highlighting common risks and decision points that affect continuity\, quality\, and workforce stability. Participants will be introduced to practical frameworks and examples that support proactive sustainment planning across service environments. \nThe August 18 coaching session will provide participants with applied support to assess and strengthen sustainment readiness within their own programs. Building on the previous session\, participants will examine current infrastructure\, identify misalignments between implementation goals and operational systems\, and explore strategies to support continuity over time. Facilitated coaching will help participants prioritize realistic actions\, clarify decision-making roles\, and align sustainment planning with existing workflows and resource constraints. \nLearning Objectives \n\nBy the end of the learning session\, participants will be able to: \n\n\nIdentify key infrastructure elements that support long-term service delivery and implementation sustainment.\nRecognize common sustainment risks related to staffing\, funding\, and operational alignment.\nDescribe practical approaches for embedding sustainment considerations into ongoing implementation efforts.\n\nBy the end of the coaching session\, participants will be able to: \n\nAssess sustainment strengths and gaps within their program’s staffing\, funding\, and operational structures. \nIdentify actionable strategies to better align implementation activities with long-term operational systems. \nOutline near-term steps to support sustained service delivery within their local context. \n\nThis event is open nationally to all states and territories. \n\nFacilitators: \n \nSukey Steckel\, MSSW\, and Tina Rocha\, MSW\, PPSC\nCenter for Applied Research Solutions (CARS)
