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:Developing the Mental Health Workforce Through Bachelor’s Programs
DESCRIPTION:Access to behavioral health services is increasingly constrained by workforce shortages\, limited provider pipelines\, and structural barriers that restrict entry into the field. Implementation strategies to expand the mental health workforce are more important than ever. Join the Pacific West Hub as we examine the integration of individuals with bachelor’s degrees into mental health care delivery. \n The session will use Washington State’s Behavioral Health Support Specialist (BHSS) role as a practical example. Participants will be introduced to the policy context\, development timeline\, and the current status of BHSS in Washington\, alongside insights from similar efforts in other states\, to better understand how emerging roles can improve access to care.  \nThe session will highlight key components of BHSS implementation\, including competency frameworks that reflect employer expectations for knowledge\, skills\, and professional attitudes\, as well as efforts to standardize training through evidence-based approaches. Participants will explore how BHSS-aligned curriculum can be flexibly integrated into existing four-year degree programs and made broadly accessible. Additional discussion will address credentialing and regulatory considerations\, organizational readiness\, and common barriers to integration\, while identifying practical opportunities to support adoption and strengthen the behavioral health workforce.  \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. \nLearning objectives: \n\nExplain the rationale for developing a bachelor level mental health provider working under supervision to address access to care and workforce shortages.  \nIdentify curricular and policy standards that support implementation of a bachelor-level mental health workforce.  \nIdentify facilitators and barriers to integration of a bachelor level provider.  \n\n\nPresenters\n \nAlexandra Rose\, PhD\, Anna Ratzliff\, MD\, PhD\, and Bill O’Connell\, EdD

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.
