PEOPLE
Highlighting Success: Labette Center for Mental Health
Labette Center for Mental Health is located in Parsons, Kansas serving a one county catchment area that traditionally has limited employment options. As the graph below indicates, prior to the implementation of the evidence-based practice project in supported employment, 24% of the consumers in supported employment services were employed during a quarter. After the implementation of the project, which began in January 2004, employment for consumers in the SE program increased dramatically to 77%. A significant element of implementation includes providing effective job development practices. Trinette Craddock, employment specialist at LCMH, has been highly successful in developing effective relationships with employers. These relationships, along with implementing evidence-based practice have resulted in more clients working!

THINGS
Title: Supervising for the Effective Implementation of Evidence-Based
Practice
Date: May 3, 2006
Time: 9:00-4:00
Location: Wichita
Presenters: Dianne Asher, Taunia Locker, Rick Goscha, Linda Carlson, Galen Smith
Who Should Attend: This workshop is for supervisors who are involved in implementing an evidence-based practice (supported employment, strengths case management or IDDT projects)
The supervisor plays a critical role in implementing an evidence-based practice. Three areas are essential for successful implementation of EBP skills: 1) giving performance and feedback on skills, 2) conducting an effective group supervision, and 3) providing field mentoring. This training will focus on enhancing supervisors’ effectiveness in these three areas. Through lecture, discussion, and role plays, participants will leave the training with strategies and skills to more effectively assist their staff in implementing evidence-based practice skills.
