About Evidence-Based Practice

 

Started in 2002, the Children, Youth and Family Mental Health Evidence-Based Practice Project is a collaborative effort between the School of Social Work and the New York State Office of Mental Health to provide assessment, training, and consultation services to the more than 400 affiliated agencies in the 19 counties of the Western Region. The School will assist the agencies, increase public awareness, develop plans, and implement recognized evidence-based practices for improving mental health services for children and families.
