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:Design with a Purpose: Creating Marketing Materials that Drive Impact
DESCRIPTION:Design with a Purpose is a no-cost\, one-part national learning session focused on beginner-friendly strategies for creating clear and effective communication materials. \nMarch 26 | 1:00–2:30 PM CT(2:00–3:30 PM ET | 12:00–1:30 PM MT | 11:00 AM–12:30 PM PT) \nThis session is designed for behavioral health providers\, organizational leaders\, peer organizations\, and community partners who want practical design tools they can apply immediately — no formal design training or in-house communications support required. \nParticipants will learn how to create materials that strengthen understanding\, build trust\, and inspire action. \nBehavioral health organizations are often responsible for sharing complex information about programs and services\, yet many teams do not have access to dedicated communications or graphic design staff. As a result\, important messages can become unclear or difficult to access. \nThis learning session helps close that gap by sharing simple\, usable strategies to improve clarity\, accessibility\, and visual engagement.

SUMMARY:Designing Digital Stories for Mental Health: From Storyboard to Real-World Impact
DESCRIPTION:Dates:  April 15 | April 22 | May 6\nTime:  1 – 2:30pm CT | 90-minute sessions   \n  \nApplication open: March 11  \nApplication closes: April 8 \nApplicants notified of acceptance:  April 10 \n  \n\n\nSession 1: Interview-Based\, Real-World\, and Documentary Storytelling\nThis session introduces interview-based and documentary storytelling in mental health settings. Participants will explore examples ranging from simple interviews to more structured documentary formats and discuss trauma-informed and recovery-oriented approaches when working with lived experience. The session will also highlight practical tools such as consent language\, interview prompts\, and basic production options. \n\nSession 2: Creative Alternatives — Animation\, Illustration\, and Visual Storytelling\nThis session explores visual storytelling formats such as animation and illustration as alternatives to traditional interviews or filmed stories. Participants will examine examples that demonstrate how visual elements—such as character design\, color\, and composition—can communicate complex experiences and protect anonymity. The session will also introduce basic workflows and planning tools for developing visual story concepts. \n\nSession 3: From Idea to Application — “Show and Tell”\nThe final session is interactive and focused on application. Participants are invited to share early ideas\, storyboards\, or challenges related to storytelling projects. Through discussion and feedback\, participants will refine their concepts and identify practical next steps for bringing storytelling into their work. \n\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.
