Columbus, OH—Save these dates! The Center for Evidence-Based Practices (CEBP) at Case Western Reserve University will host its next conference October 12, 13, and 14, 2010. The event, titled "Sustaining Evidence-Based Practices: The Next Ten Years," will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the State of Ohio's success with implementing EBPs for people diagnosed with mental illness or co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorders.
The Conference will highlight national EBP research and lessons-learned by service organizations in Ohio and other states during EBP implementation. There will be several keynote presentations and a variety of practical workshops to help policy makers, leaders of organizations, and direct-service providers address current implementation challenges and help to sustain success in the coming decade. The event will take place at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. Registration is not yet available (see below for registration fees and estimated lodging costs).
We are currently accepting abstracts for workshops from potential presenters. Workshops will focus on topics that enhance the delivery of EBPs and emerging best practices for adults diagnosed with mental illness or co-occurring mental illness and substance use disorders. We invite individuals from the following to submit abstracts for workshop presentations:
The deadline to submit your abstract is Monday, February 15, 2010 at 5 pm [ get details/PDF ].

Participants at these events have come from approximately 17 states and overseas, including the following:
The Conference will feature several keynote plenary sessions and numerous practical workshops that will explore introductory, intermediate, and advanced topics for implementation of several EBPs and related strategies that support clinical change, organizational change, and service-systems change, including but not limited to the following:
