title: Resource kit designed to guide mental health providers toward an evidence-based approach.
abstract: Resource kits aim to elevate the prescribing patterns of mental health providers. Recognizing that there is little evidence to support many of the drug therapy choices made by mental health providers caring for individuals with severe mental illnesses, a nationwide effort is underway to help these providers base their decisions on solid evidence. Central to this effort is a new resource kit that will be distributed free of charge via the Internet. Get the details on how this kit is being developed and what it will offer.
