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)

SUMMARY:Implementation Support for Postvention Practices Learning Community
DESCRIPTION:Many behavioral health organizations have invested deeply in crisis 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.  4.5 FREE CEs available!* \nEffective crisis postvention is critical to building psychologically safe environments where staff\, clients\, and communities feel heard and supported. This training equips providers of mental health services 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 \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 4.5 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).
