Consultation, Program Development & Evaluation

We offer consultation, program development and program evaluation in many areas relevant to both private and publicly funded health care as well as plan sponsors and administrators within the insurance and health benefits community.

Practical, Evidence-Based Advice

We’re business owners too. We will help you implement evidence-based care while never losing sight of financial realities

Experience Matters

We have decades of experience with service delivery, program development and management within hospital and private settings.

Measurement-Based Care

Accountability is achieved through measurement-based care and monitoring of key-performance indicators

Innovative, Evidence-based Program Development

An area of special focus and interest for us is consultation around program development to help both public and private organizations streamline offerings according to best practice models for service delivery that are guided by stepped care principles. We also provide in-depth training and supervision of your staff to help ensure a return on your investment. We can also provide clinical services that bridge gaps in your current offerings.

Goals Driven Program Evaluation

It can be overwhelming to assemble a coherent, evidence-based mental health strategy that will provide a reasonable chance of a return on your investment. After a thorough needs assessment, we can help you wade through the maze of vendors and offerings available within mental health to identify which offerings will be the best fit for your needs. We can also help you ask the right questions up-front so that the proper accountability framework has been put in place.

Put Our Experience and Expertise to Work For You

We offer a variety of consultative services that help address several current common challenges within mental health.  We’re business owners too and transparency around finances and service delivery is incredibly important to us.  After understanding your needs and the scope of the project, we will provide detailed and written estimates of the expected costs and timelines for each stage of the project or deliverable so there are no surprises.  Here are some common situations in which we can help:

  • Do you need to get your clinicians, members, clients, employees, or management up to speed on a specific or emergent topic within mental health?  We have extensive experience providing educational talks on stress, burnout, mood disorders, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and other topics to a variety of organizations.
  • Do you have an urgent, emergent need for clinical services but do not have the resources available in-house to meet these needs? We can provide clinical services as needed to fill any gaps you may be experiencing.
  • Do you need an objective perspective on your current mental health strategy or offerings? We can help to empower you to sort through the noise and the marketing to help identify which vendors and offerings will be the best fit for your needs.
  • Are you wondering who your clinical services could be delivered more efficiently or be better guided by evidence-based principles?  We can conduct and in-depth assessment of your current offerings, staff-mix, and implementation to realize the best return-on-investment, all the while not losing sight of evidence-based practice.  Measure-based care to ensure accountability is a critical factor in this respect.
  • Are you interested in starting or acquiring a mental-health practice?  The landscape within mental health has and continues to shift dramatically with the predominance of virtual care and iCBT as well as an increase in the number and types of clinicians that can provide mental health services.  We can provide strategic and tactical guidance you need to navigate moves within this space.
