ABOUT CMHQA

The mission of the Center for Mental Health Quality and Accountability (CMHQA) is to promote quality and accountability in state mental health systems.  Over the past three years, CMHQA has been managing, developing, and transferring knowledge related to evidence-based practices (EBPs) and their implementation.  CMHQA collaborates with consumers; researchers; and federal, state and local governments to create and share innovative strategies and address challenges. 

Consumers and family members, State Mental Health Authorities, providers, and researchers will find this site helpful to better understand what an EBP is; EBPs for children, adults, and older adults; implementation issues; and federal and state EBP initiatives.
