Our Community of Practice (CoP) has been established to help community behavioral health centers leverage the benefits of research. This approach will create pathways for high quality treatment assessment and interventions including medication access for the individuals and families served by the behavioral health center.
The CoP consists of a network of leaders from CBHCs, developing a comprehensive set of resources which include research-informed diagnostic templates, educational opportunities, shared best practices, and access to cutting edge medications which our clients currently are excluded from accessing.
The CoP supports the integration of research in community behavioral health centers. With access to appropriate research, clients will have the opportunity to learn about and possibly participate in suitable research.
Research is essential to achieving breakthroughs in earlier and more accurate diagnoses, more effective treatments, and the prevention of ill health and comorbidities.
