Increasing access to evidence-based treatments (EBT)s for children with mental health needs is a national priority. Different states are experiencing a variety of implementation, policy, and resource challenges. This webinar will describe Connecticut’s approach to scaling outpatient and school-based EBTs over the past 12 years, including implementation strategies, outcomes, and lessons learned. Join us to learn about their experience and engage in facilitated chat with your colleagues around New England.
Webinar Learning Objectives:
1. Participants will be able to describe implementation strategies for and approaches to disseminating EBTs for children with mental health needs.
2. Participants will be able to describe the benefits, including child-level outcomes, of disseminating EBTs across a statewide system.
