EBP Day · Bi-Annual Planning Session · Two Parts
Don’t wait until January to plan next year.
By then you’re already playing catch-up. Two focused parts in one sitting — building frontline capacity in-house, then the leadership work that keeps it running.
Wednesday, September 9
11:30 am – 3:00 pm EST
Two parts
Limited seats
Virtual
Plan with purpose
Probably your best investment of time this year.
Leverage a free three-hour virtual session to kickstart the year ahead, set strategy, preview available tools, and see the elevated Pathways Systems for instituting and sustaining internal capacity.
What you’ll gain
Leave with a plan, not a pile of notes.
Two parts, built so you walk away with something you can put in front of your leadership team this week.
A system, not a wish list
Understand what a frontline training system consists of, then build one for your agency and sequence it into an action plan.
Leadership that sustains it
What leaders must fund, protect and ask about — supporting staff and holding up the evidence-based pillars.
A strategic plan
Fold both parts into one plan for the year ahead — with what to measure so it holds up to a funder.
Your credential map
Where CEBA, CEBP, CEBL and CEBO fit the roles you already have — and what each one proves.
Tools you can use
A downloadable planning guide with templates and implementation tips — yours to keep.
Peer insights
Connect with leaders across sectors who are building sustainable, evidence-based systems.

The system
Three layers, one system.
Session-A builds the layers. Session-B builds the leadership base that keeps them standing.
Funds it, protects it, asks about it — the base every layer above stands on.Holds it up
Each layer reinforces the one below it. Remove any single layer and the capability above it decays — which is why one-off workshops don’t survive turnover.
Six systems previewed on the day.
Each is a full system — frontline practice, supervisor coaching and internal trainer capability — not a standalone workshop.
Trauma-informed practice, policy and culture.
Alcohol and other drug intervention practice.
Care coordination and durable client contact.
Motivational interviewing across all three layers.
Supervision, coaching and performance management.
Evidence-based organizational leadership and sustainability.
Credentials that prove it, at every level
Four pathways, mapped to the roles you already have — previewed in full on the day.
Who should attend
Built for the people who own workforce capability.
Team attendance is highly encouraged — each track speaks to a different layer of the same system.
| Role | Focus on the day |
|---|---|
| Frontline staff | Client engagement, resources coordination and MI skills |
| Managers & supervisors | Implementation planning and feedback systems |
| In-house trainers & executives | Strategic visioning and capacity building |
This event is designed to equip you with value-first insights and help you decide whether instituting an in-house capacity building system is right for your team.

Practical questions.
Yes. EBP Day is a free virtual session, and one registration covers both parts.
A recording is shared with registrants, so sign up even if the time doesn’t suit.
Please do — have each person register individually so everyone gets their own materials.
A working planning session. The systems preview gives context for your plan.
Agencies across human, social, health and justice services are welcome.
Yes. Part 1 previews the systems, Part 2 action-plans them — most people find both worth the time.
Frontline, Family Engagement or Leadership. Send a person to each if you’re bringing a team.
Bring your team
Send one person per track, leave with one plan.
Team attendance is encouraged — the three breakout tracks are designed so a frontline lead, a family-services lead and an executive each come back with the piece that is theirs.
