Evidence-based treatments are proven by research to help children achieve better outcomes. CHDI works to improve the quality of mental health care for children and their families by identifying evidence-based treatments and providing effective strategies for implementing and supporting their delivery in real-world settings.
We are currently disseminating or supporting the implementation of a variety of evidence-based practices across Connecticut, including:
Past evidence-based treatment dissemination initiatives include:
CHDI has used the Learning Collaborative approach grounded in Implementation Science and Quality Improvement strategies to disseminate many evidenced-based treatments. This methodology helps effectively implement new practices in real-world settings using active learning principles, ongoing coaching and supervision, and the use of data for monitoring and continuously improving those services. CHDI developed and uses a centralized model to sustain these multiple evidence-based treatments across Connecticut, including training, consultation, implementation consultation, and ongoing quality improvement. More information about this model can be found here.
