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.
