Description:

Do you use outcome measures (like the PHQ-9) when working with clients? Do you sometimes wonder what to do with that information? Measurement-based care (MBC) is an exciting way to use outcome measures to improve psychological treatment for any mental health problem. MBC is the routine use of outcome measures to engage clients in their treatment, build the therapeutic relationship, and improve treatment effectiveness. In this training, we will provide a broad overview of patient-centered outcome measures and MBC foundations. We will follow that by providing guidance and opportunities to practice skills to provide psychoeducation, navigate difficult discussions about the therapeutic relationship, and address common challenges when doing MBC with diverse clients with complex psychosocial presentations. The training uses multiple engaging methods (discussion, role-plays, games) for learning and practicing MBC knowledge and related skills.

Learning Objectives:

  1. List at least three ways that measurement-based care (MBC) can support their work with diverse youth in complicated psychosocial contexts
  2. Describe the foundations of the four primary components of measurement-based care
  3. Apply MBC skills to 2 or more guided practice sessions in introducing and enacting MBC components
