SUMMARY:Data to Action: Turning Findings into Action
DESCRIPTION:Collecting data is only one part of evaluation. The real impact comes from how organizations interpret findings\, communicate insights\, and use what they learn to improve programs and support long-term sustainability. \nThis three-session learning series will help participants move from collecting and interpreting data to using findings for meaningful action. Participants will explore practical strategies for translating evaluation results into decision-making\, communicating findings to different audiences\, and creating sustainability action plans that support continuous improvement. \nThrough guided discussions\, interactive activities\, and practical tools\, participants will strengthen their ability to turn evaluation findings into clear next steps that can improve services\, strengthen implementation efforts\, and support lasting organizational change. \nSession Dates & Times\n\nSession 1: July 14\, 2026 | 1:00–2:30 PM CT\nSession 2: July 28\, 2026 | 1:00–2:30 PM CT\nSession 3: August 11\, 2026 | 1:00–2:30 PM CT\n\nPlease plan to attend all three sessions if possible. The sessions are designed to build upon one another\, with each session expanding on concepts\, activities\, and planning tools introduced in previous sessions. \n\nIntended Audience\nThis series is designed for: \n\nOrganizational leaders\, program managers\, and coordinators interested in strengthening data-informed decision-making\nStaff who collect or interpret data and want to better connect findings to program action\nTeams already gathering evaluation data who need support turning findings into improvement strategies or communication tools\n\n\nLearning Objectives\nBy the end of the series\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify ways evaluation findings can inform program decisions and improvement efforts\nDevelop strategies to communicate data effectively to different audiences\nCreate an “Action from Data” plan that links findings to concrete next steps\nUnderstand how to track and sustain actions that result from evaluation insights

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. Factors influencing implementation inform\, support\, or hinder efforts to deliver effective practices and maintain them over time.  3 free CEs available!* \nJoin the Pacific West Hub for an exciting three-part series on examining how supports (facilitators) and challenges (barriers) impact the success of mental health programs and practices! This interactive series goes beyond theory to help you assess what’s getting in the way and\, more importantly\, what to do about it. You’ll learn how to identify the key barriers and existing facilitators shaping your implementation efforts\, use a practical team-based tool to prioritize what matters most\, and choose strategies that actually fit your setting.  Whether you’re launching something new or trying to revive a struggling effort\, you’ll walk away with a clear\, actionable path forward.  \nThis opportunity is open to all states and territories. \nSession Details (Wednesdays\, 1-2:00 p.m. Pacific)\n\nSession 1 on July 29: Barriers and Facilitators to Implementation \nSession 2 on August 5: Using the IFASIS to Identify Barriers and Facilitators to Implementation\nSession 3 August 12: Choosing Implementation Strategies Intentionally to Move from Barriers to Action\n\nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe the types of factors (barriers/facilitators) that influence implementation of a mental health practice and strategies that support successful implementation.\nApply the Inventory of Factors Affecting Successful Implementation and Sustainment (IFASIS) for identifying factors influencing implementation and deciding which to leverage or address to effectively implement a mental health practice. \nIdentify and prioritize implementation barriers and facilitators using a practical framework and worksheet\, and select appropriate strategies to support successful implementation in their setting. \n\n\nPresenters\n \nDavid Katz\, PhD\, MPH\, Heather J. Gotham\, PhD\, Rosemary Meza\, PhD\,\nand Hélène Chokron Garneau\, PhD\, MPH \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 3 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).
