The Meadows Institute hosted our 2021 Speaker Series: Implementing Evidence-Based Practices for Children, Youth, and Families, where we welcomed experts in implementation science, evidence-based practices, health equity, financing, and more to help Texas mental health providers deepen their understanding of how to roll-out and sustain best practices in mental health.

While many of these principles can be applied to a broad population, we focused on evidence-based practice implementation efforts targeting children, youth, and their families.
