CMHIS provides support for organizations and systems on how to implement effective practices to deliver the best mental health care.
About
The Center for Mental Health Implementation Support (CMHIS) applies deep knowledge of how to sustainably implement effective mental health prevention, treatment, and recovery practices and programs to support organizations and systems in improving the lives of the people they serve.
CMHIS and our bi-regional Hubs can help your organization or system improve the delivery of mental health care by strategizing to overcome barriers and planning new program implementation from start to finish.
We can help you map the course, navigate roadblocks, and provide support to ensure that the people who need it receive the excellent mental health care that providers always strive to deliver.
CMHIS serves grantees funded by SAMHSA’s Center for Mental Health Services and organizations that oversee or directly provide mental health services. These organizations typically work with people with serious mental illness or serious emotional disturbance.

How We Can Help
Implementing new mental health care practices and maintaining their effectiveness is hard. CMHIS has tools and strategies to help make it easier for you to deliver the best care.
The process of implementing an effective intervention starts by understanding the mental health needs in a community and gaps in care, and selecting the right intervention. It then moves to preparing staff and resources before starting the delivery of the new practice. Finally, the new service is evaluated and sustained to ensure it continues to be delivered at the highest quality.
The eight core topics listed below are key guideposts in this process and the steps about which we offer resources and support.
