There has been an increased interest in recent years in understanding how to implement evidence-based practices/treatments (EBP/Ts) in community settings (Insel 2009; Proctor et al. 2009), there still remain significant progress to be made in understanding this process of ‘‘transporting EBP into community settings.’ Furthermore, there exists a considerable gap between the real practice of community mental health and the use of these effective programs. Over time, the studies and experiences of transporting will yield invaluable information, which in turn will increase our understanding and improve the implementation of effective practices into the community setting. However, these studies are unlikely to overcome the philosophical barriers to the implementation of effective programs. In fact, if effective practices are to reach the children, adolescents,and families who struggle with mental health problems, it is important that the field find a way to build bridges across the gap between researchers and practitioners in such a way that we improve the implementation and use of EBPs in community settings. Our focus here is threefold; to define the more ‘‘actionable’ challenges and steps that will add to implementation studies; to further the improvement of effective practices; and to identify some of the potential action steps and possible solutions that will facilitate the implementation of EBP into community settings.
