VR training for therapists is a necessary but insufficient implementation strategy in mental health care. A longitudinal approach shows that successful implementation requires pairing training with organization-level changes that address opportunity barriers over time. By shifting from static evaluations of whether training works to a process-oriented focus on what support is needed at each stage of implementation, this study advances implementation science in digital mental health and offers actionable guidance for embedding VR in routine care.
