The MHTTC Dissemination & Implementation Working Group, with input from the ATTCs and PTTCs, developed the Implementation Project Template. The template is based on the D&I concepts explored in this guide. Use the Implementation Project Template to plan and track the progress of intensive TA projects. We recommend meeting with your team to complete the template prior to starting a project, as it can help you think through project components, information you may want to gather from participants, and which implementation strategies/TA activities fit with the specific practice and its context.  

This guide was developed from a three-session learning community held for the Technology Transfer Centers in Summer 2022. The purpose of this guide is to demonstrate how TA purveyors can use D&I science findings, models, and frameworks to provide the most effective training and technical assistance to accelerate practice change. The guide includes real-world TA examples, exercises that can be used by TA purveyor teams to learn about how to apply D&I science to their work, and an implementation project template that helps a TA purveyor plan and track an intensive TA activity.

The Early Psychosis Intervention Network (EPINET) is a collaboration of over 100 early psychosis programs across the United States. All EPINET programs collect client data using the Core Assessment Battery (CAB), a collection of evidence-based measures that can assess domains relevant to individuals with early psychosis over time. The WebCAB is a new online data collection tool that makes it easier for clinicians to adopt CAB measures and use these data as part of their clinical practice. The state of Virginia recently adopted the WebCAB across all early psychosis programs within their state. The WebCAB allows Virginia to look at aggregate data across the state and provides CSC programs with an opportunity to compare their populations with others. Learn more about the CAB, WebCAB, and how even a subset of these measures can help enhance clinical interactions with clients and foster shared decision-making. This webinar is offered by the MHTTC Network, in collaboration with the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the Early Psychosis Intervention Network (EPINET), PEPPNET, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

Following an overview of the goals of SAMHSA’s Evidence-Based Resource Guide Series by SAMHSA’s Humberto Carvalho, MPH; Candice Chen, MD, MPH, George Washington University, from the guide’s technical expert panel will discuss this guide’s development. Ellen Childs, PhD, Abt Associates, will provide an overview of the framing of the guide, describing factors leading to burnout, and relevant evidence-based strategies to address it. Representatives from organizations featured in the guide’s case studies will discuss development of their policies or programs to address burnout. Download the slides for this presentation here.

Hosted by the MHTTC Network, in collaboration with the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), the Early Psychosis Intervention Network (EPINET), PEPPNET, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), this webinar was for providers who support individuals in coordinated specialty care clinics and environments. The Early Psychosis Intervention Network (EPINET) is a collaboration of over 100 early psychosis programs across the U.S.  All EPINET programs collect client data using the Core Assessment Battery (CAB), which is an evidence-based set of measures that are sensitive to change over time and are relevant to individuals with early psychosis. The CAB measures are publicly available and the WebCAB, a new online data collection tool, makes it easier for clinicians to adopt these measures and use these data as part of their clinical practice. This webinar introduced clinicians to the CAB, and WebCAB, and discussed how even a subset of these measures can help enhance clinical interactions with clients and foster shared decision making. Staff from early psychosis programs in Texas discussed their experience with collecting CAB measures, how to incorporate evidence-based measures into routine clinical practice, and use of these measures as a part of quality improvement initiatives among early psychosis teams. This was the first session of a 2-part series.
