The North Carolina Evidence Based Practices Center is dedicated to the support of evidence based mental health practices, treatments, and interventions. We offer training, consultation, and other assistance to help practitioners and administrators make the changes required by ongoing mental health reforms in North Carolina. In partnership with the North Carolina Council of Community Programs and the North Carolina Division of Mental Health, Developmental Disabilities, and Substance Abuse Services, our training program is based on five evidence based practice toolkits developed and endorsed by nationally recognized experts. These programs prepare mental health clinicians and other service providers to implement the evidence based models (modalities) shown by research to be effective in treating patients with severe and persistent mental illness. These practices are:

• Assertive Community Treatment
• Supported Employment
• Family Psycho-Education
• Wellness (Illness) Management and Recovery
• Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment
  

The North Carolina Evidence Based Practices Center was created by the Southern Regional Area Health Education Center in Fayetteville, North Carolina and is supported by a generous grant of The Duke Endowment.
