Making an Evidence Based Culture Stick Read Comments | Post Your Own Comment
The successful implementation of evidence-based practices and programs into local service arrays within systems of care often requires significant shifts in the culture of organizations and systems. The topical conference call highlighted strategies and tools that states, local communities, and family organizations have used in the creation of a new evidence-based culture to make behaviors stick. Characteristics or features of these cultures include leadership that supports transformation, an environment open to new ways of doing work to promote positive outcomes, strong family involvement, a change management approach, and an infrastructure and financing that supports alls aspects of EBP implementation and continuous quality improvement.
The “Resource Guide for Promoting and Evidence-Based Culture in Children’s Mental Health,” supported by SAMHSA’s Center for Mental Health Services and prepared by the NASMHPD Research Institute, Inc., pulls together practical tools and resources to support the integration of EBPs into children’s mental health systems. The Guide is designed for families and youth, practitioners and administrators.
