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. \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:Practical Tools for Evaluation in Resource-Limited Settings
DESCRIPTION:Not every organization has a dedicated evaluator or the budget for complicated data systems. That does not mean evaluation has to be out of reach. This learning session will walk through practical\, low-cost ways to collect and use data to support program improvement and day-to-day decision-making. \nParticipants will learn about simple tools and strategies that can help teams better understand what is working\, identify areas for improvement\, and build stronger continuous quality improvement (CQI) practices over time. The session will focus on approaches that are realistic for community-based and behavioral health programs with limited staff capacity and resources. \nThis session is intended for program managers\, clinical supervisors\, coordinators\, frontline staff\, and others involved in gathering or using program data. \nBy the end of the webinar\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify free or low-cost tools that support evaluation and CQI efforts\nChoose tools that fit their organization’s goals\, capacity\, and needs\nUse data-informed approaches to guide small program improvements\nAccess templates and resources to continue building evaluation efforts after the session

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:Clinical Supervision Learning Community
DESCRIPTION:The application period for this event is now closed.\nThis is a regional event for organizations and practitioners in HHS Regions 5 and 7 \n(IA\, IL\, IN\, KS\, MI\, MN\, MO\, NE\, OH\, and WI). \n______________________________ \nElevate Your Supervision Practice — and Earn 18 CEUs!\nAccepting applications through May 15th\, 2026.  Space is limited—apply now! \nAcceptance letters will be sent by May 22\, 2026. \nAre you ready to strengthen your supervision skills\, support your team more effectively\, and earn 18 Continuing Education Units (CEUs)? \nThe Clinical Supervision Learning Community is a 7-month\, expert-led program designed for clinical supervisors working in fast-paced\, resource-limited community mental health settings. This unique opportunity combines interactive training\, individualized coaching\, and peer learning to help supervisors implement evidence-based practices (EBPs) while fostering workforce resilience and retention. \nWhy is this important?\nImplementation science demonstrates that successful adoption and sustainability of EBPs require more than initial training—they depend on structured\, ongoing support. Clinical supervision is one of the most effective implementation strategies for bridging the gap between research and practice. Supervisors act as key “implementation champions\,” reinforcing fidelity\, troubleshooting barriers\, and promoting continuous quality improvement. Without supervision informed by these principles\, EBPs often fail to translate into consistent practice\, leading to diminished effectiveness and staff burnout. \nThis program leverages proven implementation strategies—such as coaching\, data-driven feedback\, and responsive adaptation—to ensure that evidence-informed practices are not only learned but consistently applied and sustained over time. A recent study demonstrated evidence that supervisors who used effective strategies in supervision had stronger relationships with supervisees\, which\, in turn\, were associated with lower supervisee intent to leave their position. Participants will gain practical tools to align supervision with licensure standards\, foster reflective practice\, and build resilience within their teams. \nProgram Highlights: \n\n3-hour initial training plus 3 individual and 6 group coaching sessions\nTotal commitment: 18 hours over seven months\nSmall cohort of 6–8 peers for meaningful engagement\n18 CE credits available\n\nTrainer: Mimi Choy-Brown\, PhD\, MSW \nSeries & Coaching Schedule\n**Please note that participants can choose the date and time for their 1-hour individual coaching sessions.

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.

SUMMARY:Funding for Sustainment
DESCRIPTION:The Sustainment Learning Series is designed as a capacity‑building implementation strategy that strengthens small nonprofit and peer‑led organizations’ ability to establish and maintain stable funding systems over time.
