SUMMARY:Advancing Access to Mental Health Services through Single Session Interventions
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: This series is open to all states and territories.  \n\nWhat if therapy worked in one visit? Most evidence-based mental health treatments include 8–20 sessions\, yet the average number of visits people receive is one. This mismatch has sparked interest in single-session interventions (SSIs)—structured\, evidence-based programs designed to deliver meaningful benefit in one encounter.  \nJoin the Pacific West Hub for a three-part series that will help leaders of behavioral health organizations and systems understand the potential impact of single-session interventions (SSIs) as an efficient\, evidence-based approach to increasing access to mental health services and improving clinical outcomes. Each 1-hour session focuses on key issues related to selecting\, implementing\, and sustaining SSIs\, with particular attention to fit within community mental health and public-sector settings.  \n\nSession 1: Foundations of SSIs (May 21 ~ 9-10 am Pacific)\nSession 2: Implementation Lessons from the Field (May 28 ~ 9-10 am Pacific)\nSession 3 Workshop: Apply here by June 8 (June 18 ~ 9-10 am Pacific)\n\nParticipants will gain a clear understanding of what SSIs are\, where and when they can be most effective\, identify implementation challenges\, explore methods to encourage real-world use\, and reflect on how local context shapes SSI design\, delivery\, and sustainability. An applied workshop in session three will support participants in moving from conceptual interest to concrete action through a structured implementation planning process.  \nLearning Objectives  \n\nUnderstand the current evidence base supporting SSIs\, including outcomes and settings. \nIdentify common barriers to implementing single-session approaches in community mental health settings. \nLearn practical strategies and implementation tactics that have facilitated successful uptake. \n\n\nMeet the Presenter  \n \nDr. Jessica L. Schleider (she/her) is the Founding Director of the Lab for Scalable Mental Health and Associate Professor of Medical Social Sciences\, Pediatrics\, and Psychology at Northwestern University. She also serves as Director of Digital Services at Northwestern’s Center for Behavioral Intervention Technologies.   Dr. Schleider’s professional mission is to build\, test\, and disseminate scalable mental health solutions that bridge gaps in mental health ecosystems\, with a focus on single-session interventions (SSIs) for youth. In support of her research\, she has secured >$13 million in federal\, foundation\, and industry funding. She has been recognized via numerous national awards for research excellence and innovation\, including the NIH Director’s Early Independence Award. Her work has been featured in media outlets such as The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times\, and she was previously chosen as one of Forbes’ 30 Under 30 in Healthcare.  To support SSI scale-up efforts\, Dr. Schleider regularly consults for national and state-level health care organizations\, digital health and social media companies\, and providers across the globe.  \n\nIndividuals with disabilities who need sign language interpreting\, CART\, or other reasonable accommodations to participate in this event can contact the organizer at pacificwest@cmhisupport.org. Please make requests at least 14 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:Grief and Crisis Management: Building a Grief-Ready Workforce
DESCRIPTION:*NOTE: This is a 2-part series. Register once to attend both sessions. \nMay 26\, 2026: 90-minute learning session \nMay 28\, 2026: 60-minute consultation session \n\nWorkforce conditions and organizational readiness are critical factors influencing the successful implementation and continuity of mental health services. Drawing on national research and field experience from crisis recovery and workforce initiatives\, this session introduces the concept of grief readiness as an organizational approach that helps agencies maintain stability during periods of loss\, crisis\, and high stress. Participants will examine how unaddressed grief and cumulative loss can affect workforce functioning\, implementation conditions\, and service delivery\, and will explore practical leadership and supervision strategies that strengthen organizational readiness while supporting staff.  \nA follow-up coaching session on May 28 will provide participants with an opportunity to apply workforce-focused implementation concepts within their own organizational context. Participants will reflect on workforce conditions affecting service delivery\, identify areas where grief or cumulative stress may influence implementation\, and explore realistic strategies to strengthen organizational supports within their sphere of influence. Coaching emphasizes practical next steps that support both workforce functioning and continuity of services. \nLearning Objectives \nBy the end of the information session\, participants will be able to: \n\nDescribe how workforce experiences\, including grief and loss\, influence implementation conditions within mental health programs.\nIdentify leadership or supervision practices that support workforce stability during periods of disruption or stress.\nRecognize practical strategies that can strengthen organizational readiness for continued service delivery.\n\nBy the end of the coaching session\, participants will be able to: \n\nAssess workforce-related factors that influence implementation within their organization. \nIdentify one strategy to strengthen organizational readiness or workforce support. \nDevelop a practical next step to support sustained service delivery. \n\nThis event 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\nFacilitator: \n \nLeora Wolf-Prusan\, EdD\nCenter for Applied Research Solutions (CARS)
