The mission of the Midwest Center is to promote evidence-based practices in psychiatric rehabilitation throughout Indiana and the surrounding states. Our long-term goals center on promoting EBP though (1) research on effectiveness of both established and emerging EBPs, including both randomized controlled trials of their clinical and cost effectiveness, as well as fidelity of program implementation, (2) research on the barriers to implementation of EBPs and strategies to overcome these, (3) training and consultation to mental health agencies and their staff on the most effective practices and how best to implement those practices. Short-term goals of the center include: (1) state-wide implementation of assertive community treatment in Indiana, facilitated by the efforts of the ACT Center of Indiana, (2) promotion of effective interventions in routine mental health treatment settings, through collaboration with the National Implementing Evidence-Based Practices Project.
