SUMMARY:Advancing Access to Mental Health Services through Single Session Interventions
DESCRIPTION:What 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.
