In 2003 the final report
from the President’s New Freedom Commission on Mental
Health identified the need to bridge science to service
through regular use of evidence-based practices (EBPs).
To assist in transforming mental health systems, SAMHSA
is advancing 6 EBPs using demonstration projects. In
2003 Hawai‘i was one of 9 states to receive a grant from
SAMHSA to participate in this initiative. These funds
along with funding through the State of Hawai‘i,
Department of Health, Adult Mental Health Division
support the rollout of two EBPs: Illness Management and
Self-Directed Recovery and Integrated Dual Disorders
Treatment. As part of the commitment to Evidence–Based
Practices (EBPs), join with us in bringing these two
practices to Hawai‘i.
The Mission: Respecting the culture and dignity of all;
Creating pathways to wholeness and healing lives through
evidence-based practices
Why support these EBPs?
-
These practices have been shown to improve people’s
lives when offered on a routine basis
-
Consumers demand and deserve most effective
treatments
-
Providers benefit from enhanced tools and strategies
for practice
