What people are saying about this book: “Crafted by three seasoned researchers, this book draws on years of researching, teaching, theorizing, testing, and retesting the CIFFTA model. CIFFTA’s brilliance lies in its emphasis on culture and its adaptability for addressing the unique dynamics of adolescents and their families. Unlike many other manualized treatments, CIFFTA evolves flexibly with the needs of those it serves. This is an essential resource for graduate students, new clinicians, and practitioners across the mental health fields.”
TIA’s mission is to support mental health professionals, treatment agencies, and funding agencies in their quest to improve our nation’s mental health. TIA develops empirically based and cost-effective solutions to meet the complex and long-standing implementation challenges they face. Our online platform is a key component of this approach as it incorporates the most recent advances in adaptive training methods, implementation science, and simulation. TIA’s training and implementation approach is culturally informed and addresses the diversity of the providers and agencies we serve.
TIA addresses two major sets of training and implementation challenges:
► The training challenges pertaining to mastering new evidence-based practices, including the high cost of in-person training and training needs related to staff turnover.
► Challenges related to the implementation process, including organizational readiness and the need for ongoing support to facilitate sustainment.
