Policy Sub-Network of Expertise

Co-leaders: Caryn Blitz, PhD & Maria Monroe-DeVita, PhD

Trainee lead: Gretchen Buchanan, PhD

We are a group of policy makers and change-makers committed to informing behavioral health policy by leveraging what is known to be most effective for implementation and sustainability of evidence-based psychosocial interventions, while balancing the evidence with the practical experience of our membership in real-world policy and program settings. All roles (e.g., policy-makers; those working in organizations that inform local, state, and federal policy; trainers, providers, and academics committed to informing policy change) and all organizational types (e.g., non-profit, for-profit, university-based, school-based, healthcare, public health, governmental, child welfare, military and veteran) are welcome to join our group.

This Policy Network of Expertise is committed to the process of creating a series of SIRC guidance documents focused on developing comprehensive implementation infrastructure, with the plan to collaboratively develop and share progress made on the guidance document at the 2021 SIRC Biennial Conference.

If you would like to nominate someone (including yourself) to join the Policy Network of Expertise, please email SIRC at sircimplementation@gmail.com.with “Policy Sub-Network” in the subject line.
