Agenda


• Individuals with substance use disorders are treated effectively using the most appropriate evidence-based practices that promote long-term recovery

• Clinical supervisors are valued members of the treatment team who know how to provide effective supervision and to successfully implement EBPs with fidelity

Vision


• Have you ever been a clinical supervisor at an organization that was working on implementing an evidence-based practice?– Poll

Challenges to Vision

• If yes, what difficulties did you face?– Please respond using CHAT function


• Evidence-based practices are not routinely implemented with fidelity

• Lack of communication and collaboration between practitioners and researchers

• Networking resources devoted specifically to clinical supervisors are scarce

• Clinical supervisors are not often recognized for the crucial role they play in the implementation process

Challenges to Vision


• What have you (or your organization) done to alleviate barriers clinical supervisors face during EBP implementation?– Please respond using CHAT function

Response to Challenges


What if we built a website with associated interactive tools that addressed the unmet need(s) of clinical supervisors related to implementing EBPs and promoting knowledge sharing?


And so theNetwork of Practice

was born …

www.NetworkofPractice.org


• Guiding principles behind website– People tend not to use information when it is

handed to them unless they have an opportunity to interact and modify it.

– The way people interact is through social networking.



• Purposes of website– To make the job of clinical supervisors easier• Tools to enhance clinical supervision• Implementation guide• Social support

– To recognize clinical supervisors for their hard work• Incentives for use• Social support (recognition from peers)



• NIDA grant– Preliminary research– ATTCs invited to join

• Phase 1 – Implementation checklist– Pilot for use with group implementing

motivational incentives

Where are we now?
