You down with MBC?

Yeah, you know me! The American Psychological Association (APA) has released new professional practice guidelines for implementing measurement-based care (MBC) in mental health settings. In this video, Dr. Amber breaks down why MBC matters, offers a high-level overview of the APA’s guidelines, and explains how they can elevate clinical practice and support better outcomes for clients. Whether you're a psychologist, therapist, or mental health advocate, understanding the value of applying MBC in real-world settings is crucial! The guidelines, which were developed by an expert panel of psychologists- Including the Yale Measurement Based Care Collaborative’s Own Dr. Jessica Barber- and supported by the APA staff and internal consultants are available for download today.

The Need for a Measurement Based Care Professional Practice Guideline- the original manuscript calling for developing the MBC PPG and features Dr. Amber as a co-author is available for download here.
