Resource Directory of Evidence-Based and Other Practices

This Resource Directory provides users with a single-entry point to locate information on evidence-based and other behavioral health practices identified by authoritative organizations using rigorous review processes. Each organization has their own definition and process for determining if the practice is “evidence-based,” “promising,” “model,” or other, therefore the definitions vary. This Resource Directory serves as a link to existing practice inclusion descriptions and research/evidence criteria and is not intended to offer any new definition or to set criteria of what constitutes an “evidence-based” practice.

Each Resource is presented in a way that facilitates the users’ search for evidence-based and other practices. The following information is presented (when available) for each Resource:
