If you’re doing community-based work in California right now, you’re carrying a lot.
Systems Change in Action, hosted by Mayeda Consulting, will be a six-part, one-hour webinar series covering the topics California organizations are navigating most: policy shifts, member engagement, peer support, staff self-care, building and sustaining community trust, CalAIM, and measuring impact.
Each session breaks down complex ideas into plain language and gives you practical next steps you can use right away.
Does CalAIM Work? — Learn what's working and how the everyday efforts of front-line staff, in conjunction with the CalAIM initiatives, are changing communities and lives.
Measuring What Matters for CalAIM — Learn what to measure, how to track it simply, and how to tell your impact story using both data and real member experiences.
Supporting Latino Communities in Times of Fear — Understand how fear shows up in service engagement and learn culturally grounded trust-building strategies, communication tips, and resource navigation approaches.
Everyday Advocacy for Trans Community Members — Build confidence using respectful language and practical, trauma-informed ways to increase safety, trust, and belonging in everyday interactions.
Window of Tolerance + Self-Regulation for CBO Staff — Recognize stress responses in yourself and staff, and practice quick regulation tools to prevent burnout and stay steady during high-emotion work.
Moving from Intention to Implementation — Learn where inequity shows up in day-to-day CalAIM operations (access, engagement, documentation, workforce, leadership) and the practical design shifts that turn equity into real outcomes.
Join us for these sessions to discover the answers, explore the data, and get the tools you need to thrive and foster healthy communities.

SESSIONS
Kicking off our Webinar Speaker Series, Systems Change in Action , we are proud to feature the CEO and founder of Mayeda Consulting, who will share valuable insights into the CalAIM initiatives and their impact on shaping California's future.
CalAIM seeks to integrate physical health, mental health, and social supports such as housing assistance, medically tailored meals, and help navigating a complex system of care.
But the real question remains: Is it working?
We'll be joined by experienced CalAIM practitioners and leaders from both Northern and Southern California — exploring what's working well, where the model shows promise, and where gaps and challenges still exist.
R S V PCHWs, Promotoras/es, Case Managers, and frontline staff who work primarily with Latino individuals, families, and mixed-status households.
About the webinarJoin Loraine Brittingham-Rojas, RN, and co-host Josie Smith as they walk through the many fears Latino clients express about safety, belonging, and discrimination — and what CHWs can do to support and empower community.

- The most common fears and stressors Latino clients express today
- How CHWs can respond when clients express fear about their immigration status

- How to respond when a client shares fear or safety concerns about their gender identity

About the webinarJoin Carrie Roden and Dr. Andre Lockett to explore where inequity shows up inside "neutral" workflows — and leave with a simple framework to spot equity gaps early and concrete shifts you can implement without waiting for a massive overhaul.
What you'll learn- What "equity in action" means in CalAIM — beyond intention, language, or training
- Where inequity most commonly shows up inside programs
- How "neutral" policies can produce unequal outcomes — and what to adjust
- Practical design shifts you can make in the next 30 days
CalAIM is asking providers to demonstrate real impact — but many teams feel unsure about what to measure or how to tell their story. This training will help you turn the work you're already doing into clear, meaningful data and member stories that health plans and communities will understand, value, and remember.
