Infrastructure Development for Implementing and Integrating Culturally Adapted Evidence-Based Practices into a System of Care for American Indian Youth in Oklahoma

We're sorry, handouts are not available for this presentation.

Presenting: Jami Bartgis

All Authors for this paper: Jami Bartgis; David Asetoyer

Presentation Type: element of symposium

Synopsis: This presentation addresses the infrastructure development and integration of two culturally adapted evidence-based practices (EBPs) into a system of care that serves a high population of American Indians. The methods include implementing culturally adapted EBPs at the organizational level and creating collaborative avenues for integrating EBPs into a greater system of care at the system level. At the organizational level, major challenges for implementation included clinical support for continued training and staffing. At the system level, major challenges for integration included developing formal collaborative agreements for streamlining referrals. For both organizational and system level, buy-in is needed from top administration to direct service providers.
