Project Overview
This project evaluates the Community-based Learning Collaborative model, which targets both clinical and non-clinical professionals in the child welfare and mental health service sectors as a way to build and strengthen inter-professional relationships and improve delivery of evidence-based mental health treatment services. The project capitalizes on an on-going implementation project, aiming to generate evidence about implementation strategies needed to make EBTs more accessible to children. This mixed-methods study involves participants from two ongoing CBLCs in South Carolina and examines data collected pre/post, weekly, and monthly over the 12 month active implementation period. Participants are recruited for an 18 month follow-up period to examine whether inter-professional relationships, inter-organizational relationships, and use of EBTs are sustained over time.
