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: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.

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.

SUMMARY:Implementation Support for Postvention Practices Learning Community
DESCRIPTION:Many behavioral health organizations have invested deeply in prevention and intervention. However\, far fewer have established clear\, sustainable practices for what happens after a critical event. Join the Pacific West Hub for a learning community focused on strengthening “post-intervention” (postvention) practices to help teams process complex situations\, share insights\, and improve future responses. By formalizing these practices and identifying the barriers and facilitators that influence implementation\, organizations can turn challenging experiences into meaningful opportunities for growth\, sustainability\, and continuous quality improvement.   \nEffective postvention is critical to building psychologically safe environments where staff\, clients\, and communities feel heard and supported. This training equips participants with practical strategies to develop\, implement\, and sustain postvention practices that enhance communication\, knowledge-sharing\, and team resilience. Participants will leave with actionable implementation tools to strengthen their organization’s capacity to respond\, reflect\, and grow together after critical incidents.  \nSession Details (Fridays @ 10-11:30 a.m. PT)\n\nSession 1: August 7\nSession 2: August 14\nSession 3: September 11\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify at least two benefits of implementing regular post-intervention practices\nIdentify the 4 key questions to ask in a Critical Incident Debriefing\nIdentify at least two common challenges / concerns related to Debriefing facilitation\nIdentify ways to promote “Balanced Perspectives” for managing emotional interactions during critical incident / sentinel event Debriefings \n\nEligibility\n\nThis Learning Community 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\n\nMeet the Presenter\nMartin “Marty” Reinsel\, MA\, LMHC\nReinsel Counseling

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:Data to Action: Turning Findings into Action
DESCRIPTION:Collecting data is only one part of evaluation. The real impact comes from how organizations interpret findings\, communicate insights\, and use what they learn to improve programs and support long-term sustainability. \nThis three-session learning series will help participants move from collecting and interpreting data to using findings for meaningful action. Participants will explore practical strategies for translating evaluation results into decision-making\, communicating findings to different audiences\, and creating sustainability action plans that support continuous improvement. \nThrough guided discussions\, interactive activities\, and practical tools\, participants will strengthen their ability to turn evaluation findings into clear next steps that can improve services\, strengthen implementation efforts\, and support lasting organizational change. \nSession Dates & Times\n\nSession 1: July 14\, 2026 | 1:00–2:30 PM CT\nSession 2: July 28\, 2026 | 1:00–2:30 PM CT\nSession 3: August 11\, 2026 | 1:00–2:30 PM CT\n\nPlease plan to attend all three sessions if possible. The sessions are designed to build upon one another\, with each session expanding on concepts\, activities\, and planning tools introduced in previous sessions. \n\nIntended Audience\nThis series is designed for: \n\nOrganizational leaders\, program managers\, and coordinators interested in strengthening data-informed decision-making\nStaff who collect or interpret data and want to better connect findings to program action\nTeams already gathering evaluation data who need support turning findings into improvement strategies or communication tools\n\n\nLearning Objectives\nBy the end of the series\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify ways evaluation findings can inform program decisions and improvement efforts\nDevelop strategies to communicate data effectively to different audiences\nCreate an “Action from Data” plan that links findings to concrete next steps\nUnderstand how to track and sustain actions that result from evaluation insights

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)
