Commitment to Evidence-Based Treatment

Empowering Clinicians to Enhance Client Outcomes

Real Program Successes

We know these evidence-based treatments work and we are committed to helping clinicians train in treatment models that can benefit their clients. These stories encourage us to continue to provide the latest information and updated training for the North Carolina mental health community. But they are just a few examples of the lives that training has changed.

  • This training has been amazing!! Often in schools we are told to “run groups” because it is part of our job and then we are left to essentially develop a curriculum on our own. I love all of the training and support that has been available to us. It has allowed me to confidently run groups and feel like there is a purpose and a measurable outcome.

  • TF-CBT changed my life. Not only how I worked with those clients, but with my entire approach in how I work with families and how I supervise my staff. It has changed our entire agency.

  • We recently provided TF-CBT to a family receiving Intensive In-Home Services. After about 15 sessions, they were discharged from all services. The client was doing better, the family felt empowered, and they had no remaining needs. That is success!
