SUMMARY:Beyond the Numbers: Data Storytelling for Continuous Quality Improvement
DESCRIPTION:*NOTE: This is a 2-part series. Register once to attend both sessions. \nApril 28\, 2026: 90-minute learning session \nApril 30\, 2026: 60-minute consultation session \n\nJoin us on Tuesday\, April 28\, to learn more about practical approaches for demonstrating program impact by combining quantitative data\, qualitative insights\, and partner/community input. Participants will explore how to use data not only for reporting\, but also to communicate results in a way that supports shared decision-making and continuous quality improvement (CQI). The session will highlight simple strategies for aligning data collection with program goals and translating findings into clear\, action-oriented messages for different audiences. \nThe Thursday\, April 30 coaching session will support participants in applying learning session concepts to a real program question or decision. Participants will be invited to complete a brief pre-session reflection as “homework” to identify one priority program objective\, two simple data points\, and one qualitative prompt to bring into the session. During coaching\, participants will refine their evaluation/CQI question\, draft a short data story outline\, and identify one feasible next step to strengthen how data are used to guide improvement and communicate results. \nLearning Objectives \nBy the end of the learning session\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe how quantitative and qualitative data can be combined to communicate a fuller picture of program impact.\nApply a basic data storytelling structure to frame findings in accessible and decision-relevant ways.\nIdentify practical methods for aligning data collection with program objectives and CQI priorities.\n\nBy the end of the coaching session\, participants will be able to:   \n\nTranslate a real program objective or decision into a focused evaluation or CQI question. \nIdentify a minimal set of quantitative and qualitative data inputs that support interpretation and action. \nDraft a brief data story outline and select one realistic next step for strengthening data use in routine practice. \n\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. \n\nFacilitators: \n \nKristi Silva\, MA\, MS\, and Chidinma Ogojiaku\, MPH\nCenter for Applied Research Solutions (CARS)

SUMMARY:Measuring What Matters in Peer Support Programs
DESCRIPTION:Measuring What Matters in Peer Support Programs is a learning session designed to help peer specialists\, program leads\, supervisors\, and organizations feel more confident and clear about how to approach evaluation in ways that reflect the values of peer support. Rather than focusing on complex or overly clinical methods\, this session views evaluation as a practical tool for learning\, reflection\, and telling the story of peer work. \nParticipants will explore ways to identify and measure outcomes that truly reflect peer support\, such as hope\, connection\, empowerment\, and community. The session will walk through how to select evaluation approaches that are both meaningful and manageable\, while remaining grounded in lived experience. We’ll also discuss how programs can use what they learn from evaluation to strengthen services\, advocate for resources\, and demonstrate the impact of their work to partners and funders. \nThis learning session is designed for peer specialists\, program leads\, supervisors\, evaluators\, and others who support or manage peer support programs. By the end of the session\, participants will be able to identify outcomes that reflect peer support values\, match those outcomes to practical evaluation measures\, and use evaluation findings to support reflection and continuous improvement in their programs.

SUMMARY:Beyond the Numbers: Data Storytelling for Continuous Quality Improvement
DESCRIPTION:*NOTE: This is a 2-part series. Register once to attend both sessions. \nApril 28\, 2026: 90-minute learning session \nApril 30\, 2026: 60-minute consultation session \n\nJoin us on Tuesday\, April 28\, to learn more about practical approaches for demonstrating program impact by combining quantitative data\, qualitative insights\, and partner/community input. Participants will explore how to use data not only for reporting\, but also to communicate results in a way that supports shared decision-making and continuous quality improvement (CQI). The session will highlight simple strategies for aligning data collection with program goals and translating findings into clear\, action-oriented messages for different audiences. \nThe Thursday\, April 30 coaching session will support participants in applying learning session concepts to a real program question or decision. Participants will be invited to complete a brief pre-session reflection as “homework” to identify one priority program objective\, two simple data points\, and one qualitative prompt to bring into the session. During coaching\, participants will refine their evaluation/CQI question\, draft a short data story outline\, and identify one feasible next step to strengthen how data are used to guide improvement and communicate results. \nLearning Objectives \nBy the end of the learning session\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe how quantitative and qualitative data can be combined to communicate a fuller picture of program impact.\nApply a basic data storytelling structure to frame findings in accessible and decision-relevant ways.\nIdentify practical methods for aligning data collection with program objectives and CQI priorities.\n\nBy the end of the coaching session\, participants will be able to:   \n\nTranslate a real program objective or decision into a focused evaluation or CQI question. \nIdentify a minimal set of quantitative and qualitative data inputs that support interpretation and action. \nDraft a brief data story outline and select one realistic next step for strengthening data use in routine practice. \n\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. \n\nFacilitators: \n \nKristi Silva\, MA\, MS\, and Chidinma Ogojiaku\, MPH\nCenter for Applied Research Solutions (CARS)

SUMMARY:Advancing Access to Mental Health Services through Single Session Interventions
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: This series is open to all states and territories.  \n\nWhat if therapy worked in one visit? Most evidence-based mental health treatments include 8–20 sessions\, yet the average number of visits people receive is one. This mismatch has sparked interest in single-session interventions (SSIs)—structured\, evidence-based programs designed to deliver meaningful benefit in one encounter.  \nJoin the Pacific West Hub for a three-part series that will help leaders of behavioral health organizations and systems understand the potential impact of single-session interventions (SSIs) as an efficient\, evidence-based approach to increasing access to mental health services and improving clinical outcomes. Each 1-hour session focuses on key issues related to selecting\, implementing\, and sustaining SSIs\, with particular attention to fit within community mental health and public-sector settings.  \n\nSession 1: Foundations of SSIs (May 21 ~ 9-10 am Pacific)\nSession 2: Implementation Lessons from the Field (May 28 ~ 9-10 am Pacific)\nSession 3 Workshop: Apply here by June 8 (June 18 ~ 9-10 am Pacific)\n\nParticipants will gain a clear understanding of what SSIs are\, where and when they can be most effective\, identify implementation challenges\, explore methods to encourage real-world use\, and reflect on how local context shapes SSI design\, delivery\, and sustainability. An applied workshop in session three will support participants in moving from conceptual interest to concrete action through a structured implementation planning process.  \nLearning Objectives  \n\nUnderstand the current evidence base supporting SSIs\, including outcomes and settings. \nIdentify common barriers to implementing single-session approaches in community mental health settings. \nLearn practical strategies and implementation tactics that have facilitated successful uptake. \n\n\nMeet the Presenter  \n \nDr. Jessica L. Schleider (she/her) is the Founding Director of the Lab for Scalable Mental Health and Associate Professor of Medical Social Sciences\, Pediatrics\, and Psychology at Northwestern University. She also serves as Director of Digital Services at Northwestern’s Center for Behavioral Intervention Technologies.   Dr. Schleider’s professional mission is to build\, test\, and disseminate scalable mental health solutions that bridge gaps in mental health ecosystems\, with a focus on single-session interventions (SSIs) for youth. In support of her research\, she has secured >$13 million in federal\, foundation\, and industry funding. She has been recognized via numerous national awards for research excellence and innovation\, including the NIH Director’s Early Independence Award. Her work has been featured in media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times\, and she was previously chosen as one of Forbes’ 30 Under 30 in Healthcare.  To support SSI scale-up efforts\, Dr. Schleider regularly consults for national and state-level health care organizations\, digital health and social media companies\, and providers across the globe.  \n\nIndividuals with disabilities who need sign language interpreting\, CART\, or other reasonable accommodations to participate in this event can contact the organizer at pacificwest@cmhisupport.org.

SUMMARY:Clinical Supervision Learning Community
DESCRIPTION:This 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______________________________ \nAre you ready to elevate your supervision practice and strengthen your team’s ability to deliver evidence-based care?\nAccepting applications through May 15th\, 2026.  Space is limited—apply now! \nAcceptance letters will be sent by May 22\, 2026. \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:Clinical Supervision Learning Community
DESCRIPTION:This 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______________________________ \nAre you ready to elevate your supervision practice and strengthen your team’s ability to deliver evidence-based care?\nAccepting applications through May 15th\, 2026.  Space is limited—apply now! \nAcceptance letters will be sent by May 22\, 2026. \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:Clinical Supervision Learning Community
DESCRIPTION:This 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______________________________ \nAre you ready to elevate your supervision practice and strengthen your team’s ability to deliver evidence-based care?\nAccepting applications through May 15th\, 2026.  Space is limited—apply now! \nAcceptance letters will be sent by May 22\, 2026. \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.
