The Evidence-Based Practice Institute (EBPI), in collaboration with the Washington Division of Behavioral Health and Recovery/Department of Social and Health Services, has released the FY17/18 Evidence-Based Reporting Guides for children’s public mental health. The Reporting Guides use a flexible essential elements approach in directing therapists how to document the use of evidence-based practices in individual therapy sessions with children and families. The Guides will influence over 100,000 mental health service encounters for children’s mental health each year in Washington State and sets a standard for the minimum training and consultation requirements needed for defining an evidence-based practice. A training webinar that walks therapists through the new reporting guides is available for free through the Behavioral Health Workforce Collaborative website. The Guides were developed under the leadership of Sarah Walker, PhD, with Lucy Berliner, MSW, Georganna Sedlar, PhD, Jessica Leith, LMFT, Savanna Johnson, BS and Cathea Carey, BS, in close collaboration with the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services and community providers. Eric Trupin, PhD, is the director of EBPI.
