SUMMARY:Implementing Trauma Responsive Services
DESCRIPTION:Leaders of organizations are constantly monitoring the needs of behavioral and mental health systems\, engaging with local communities\, and supporting individuals who rely on their services. At the same time\, they must remain attentive to the unique needs of their own organizations and the people who make them work. \nTrauma-informed practices are essential for achieving both individual and organizational goals. Yet\, being trauma responsive goes beyond simply creating a trauma-informed environment. Truly trauma-responsive organizations see change as a natural part of service delivery and place the well-being of all individuals affected by that change at the center of their success. \nRecognizing the important role leaders play in guiding this process\, the CHMIS Southwestern Plains Hub is offering a three-session learning series for organizations committed to designing and implementing trauma-informed and trauma-responsive services. This series is tailored for leaders in mental and behavioral health settings who are responsible for developing\, sustaining\, and innovating trauma-responsive approaches within their organizations. Through a unique\, practical lens on implementation and trauma responsiveness\, participants will engage in collective learning\, gain inspiration\, and build collaborative resources. \nSeries FormatThe Southwestern Plains Hub has designed a three-part series to help leaders conceptualize and implement trauma-responsive services in their organizations. Each session encourages collaborative discussion and shared learning. Participants who attend all three sessions and actively engage in the process will benefit most from the experience. \nLearning Series Dates/Times \nOctober 20\, 2025\, 1:00p – 2:30pm CT \nNovember 3. 2025\, 1:00p – 2:30pm CT \nNovember 17\, 2025\, 1:00p – 2:30pm CT \nApplications due by October 17th\, 2025

SUMMARY:Strengthening Internal Communication for Organizational Success
DESCRIPTION:We frequently hear from providers and leaders that they often face challenges in effective communication within their organization.  From building buy-in around a new service to maintaining enthusiasm about an existing program\, the importance of effective communication is paramount.  In this session\, we will explore practical strategies for improving communication throughout your organization. Topics include strategies for effective messaging around program goals\, expectations\, and outcomes – from the bottom up\, and from the top down.

SUMMARY:Planning an Evaluation that Practically Supports Program Implementation
DESCRIPTION:For this two-part (90-minutes each) series\, we will explore ways to integrate evaluation into the program planning and implementation process to improve service delivery. The East Coast Hub will support attendees in outlining (or refining) practical program evaluation plans. Through interactive discussion\, we will identify potential solutions to common evaluation challenges. This series aims to help you develop strategies to use evaluation data in ways that support program implementation. \nThe learning objectives for this two-part series are: \n1. Describe the relationship between program evaluation and program implementation. \n2. Identify implementation outcomes that support service delivery and client outcomes. \n3. Outline a draft evaluation plan to support program implementation. \n  \nThis event is being offered to HHS Regions 3 and 4\, which include Alabama\, Delaware\, the District of Columbia\, Florida\, Georgia\, Kentucky\, Maryland\, Mississippi\, North Carolina\, Pennsylvania\, South Carolina\, Tennessee\, Virginia\, and West Virginia.

SUMMARY:Data Storytelling Across the Project Lifespan: Using What You Know to Strengthen What You Do
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to apply new strategies and lead improvements in data use\, storytelling\, and program sustainability within your system\, organization\, or program? \nAre you also interested in learning how data storytelling can drive meaningful change and strengthen community impact? \nIf so\, this learning community is for you! \nThis event is designed to help participants transform the data they already collect into powerful tools for learning\, action\, and impact. Through interactive sessions with subject matter experts and peer exchange\, participants will explore how data can be leveraged across assessment\, continuous quality improvement (CQI)\, and evaluation to strengthen program design\, implementation\, and sustainability. You’ll also examine how data storytelling can support your program in communicating its purpose\, successes\, and needs to funders\, partners\, and participants. \nSeries 1 – all sessions are 90 minutes: 12pm-1:30pm HST | 2pm-3:30pm PT | 3pm-4:30pm MT | 4pm-5:30pm CT\nNovember 6 | December 4 | January 8 | February 5 | March 5 \nSeries 2 – all sessions are 90 minutes:  9:00am-10:30am HST | 11am-12:30pm PT | 12pm-1:30pm MT | 1pm-2:30pm CT\nNovember 13 | December 11 | January 15 | February 12 | March 12 \n\nLearning Objectives \n\n\nLearn techniques to leverage existing program data to inform assessment\, continuous quality improvement (CQI)\, and evaluation efforts. \n\n\nApply inclusive and community-centered data storytelling methods to engage stakeholders\, elevate community voice\, and foster collaborative interpretation and use of data. \n\n\nUnderstand how to develop and communicate compelling data narratives that enhance program effectiveness\, support sustainability\, and drive action. \n\n\n\nImportant Dates \n\n\nSeptember 29\, 2025: Applications open \n\n\nOctober 31\, 2025: Applications due \n\n\nNovember 4\, 2025: Applicants notified of selection status
