|
|
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Homeless and Housing Resource Network (HHRN) presents the Evidence-based Practices (EBP) Spotlight Series. SAMHSA’s EBP Spotlight Series will focus on innovative homelessness solutions to use when working with the individuals SAMHSA grantees serve. The series will comprise three 90-minute virtual sessions over a 2-week period. The first session will begin on a Tuesday and provide an overview of Critical Time Intervention (CTI), presented by an expert and a grantee that have successfully implemented the practice. The second and third webinars will take place the next week, on Monday and Wednesday, and will cover permanent supportive housing (PSH) and Motivational Interviewing (MI), respectively, using the same format.
Objectives of the EBP webinar series include the following:
- Provide opportunities for grantees to learn more about the impact of interventions and how to address the complex issues faced by clients who are experiencing homelessness;
- Identify the core skills used in EBPs being implemented by SAMHSA strategically to treat mental and substance use disorders;
- Collaborate with subject matter experts (SMEs) to strengthen and implement evidence-based interventions for mental, emotional, and behavioral health promotion; and
- Describe the key processes and practices to help bolster clients’ motivation to take steps to improve their lives.
