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: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: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:Stories That Connect Us: The Impact of Digital Storytelling in Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Join the Southwestern Plains Hub for a learning session exploring the power of digital storytelling in mental health — and why it has become such an impactful tool across clinical\, community\, and policy settings. \nIn this session\, participants will examine both the art and science of storytelling across different mediums and goals — from building community awareness and reducing stigma to strengthening workforce education and influencing policy change. Through short films and real-world case examples\, we’ll explore creative mental health stories and unpack the design choices\, ethical considerations\, and outcomes behind them. \nParticipants will leave with new ideas and practical inspiration for how storytelling might show up in their own work\, even in nontraditional or resource-limited ways. \nThis event is open to participants from all states and territories. \n\nEvent Details\nMarch 11\, 202611:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m. PT12:00–1:30 p.m. MT1:00–2:30 p.m. CT2:00–3:30 p.m. ET \n\nFeatured Speaker\nAmanda “Kay” Lipp is an award-winning documentary filmmaker and national speaker specializing in digital storytelling for mental health. She has created more than 100 short films used in clinical training\, stigma reduction research\, and policy initiatives nationwide. Her work translates complex topics — including psychosis\, mobile crisis response\, and collective trauma — into stories that are accessible\, ethical\, and deeply human. \nAmanda brings a strong focus on storytelling ethics\, trauma-informed practice\, and thoughtful co-creation with people with lived experience and care teams. At the heart of her approach is the belief that how stories are created matters just as much as the final product. \nAs a peer with lived experience\, Amanda combines empathy with more than a decade of experience collaborating with clients ranging from Fortune 200 companies to community-based nonprofits. She holds a B.S. in Human Development from UC Davis and completed documentary filmmaking training at Trinity University in Dublin\, Ireland. \nWhen she’s not working\, you’ll find her rock climbing or mountain biking. \n

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).
