Person-centered recovery planning (PCRP) has been a key aspect in mental health system transformation and delivering quality health care. Despite the mandate to deliver this practice and a growing evidence base, its implementation and understanding of implementation processes in behavioral health settings remain a challenge. New England Mental Health Technology Transfer Center (MHTTC) launched the PCRP in Behavioral Health Learning Collaborative to support agencies’ implementation efforts through training and technical assistance. In an effort to explore and understand the internal implementation process changes facilitated by the learning collaborative, the authors conducted qualitative key informant interviews with the participants and the leadership of the PCRP learning collaborative. The interviews revealed the processes that are part of the PCRP implementation efforts, including staff training, changing agency policies and procedures, modifying treatment planning tools, and the structure of the electronic health records. The higher prior organizational investment and readiness for change, building staff’s competencies in PCRP, leadership investment, and frontline staff buy-in act as factors that facilitate the implementation of PCRP in behavioral health settings. Our findings inform both the implementation of PCRP in behavioral health settings and future efforts of organizing multi-agency learning collaboratives to support PCRP implementation.
