Evidence-based treatments (EBTs) have been rigorously tested and found to perform better than treatment as usual.
Connecticut offers many opportunities for evidence-based treatments with services available:
Across Settings
Throughout Childhood
In Individual and Group Formats
In Person and Virtually
CHDI, in partnership with DCF, supports an array of outpatient and school-based EBTs for trauma, anxiety, depression, and conduct problems. This partnership is increasing access to EBTs and improving the quality of care for children.
