The Road to EBP………….
Bringing the program to scale1 year needs assessment3 year strategic planLots of trainingAbility to Seize the Moment
Why CBT?
Logical fit for school based mental health services
Prior training and use by existing staff----staff buy-in

Need for high and effective intervention when using the school clock
Why CBT? The big reason….

Prior work on program goals, mission statement, streamlined service delivery and maximizing billing. Improved Quality and measurement of program effectiveness were the next logical steps.
