Mental Health Research

Mental health has more to do with thoughts and feelings.

Evidence Based Practices for Mental Health

When we discuss evidence-based therapies, we mean any treatment supported by scientific evidence. And not just any evidence. The evidence needs to exhibit a significant amount of statistical efficacy. In other words, has it been proven to work? The standard for evidenced-based practice is peer-reviewed research studies utilizing randomized controlled trials. Ideally, a number of these types of trials measuring a particular therapy leads to a clear consensus as to its effectiveness. When you have a therapy that has undergone rigorous research standards and still shows consistently positive outcomes then you have found an evidence-based practice.
