How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Accreditation and Certification as Quality Leversmethodology: accreditation-and-certificationBy implementing accreditation standards for programs and certification for providers, the organization advances quality of care because formal standards create accountability, incentivize best practices, and professionalize the field of dual diagnosis support.
- Expert Network for Capacity Buildingmethodology: expert-network consultationBy leveraging a network of experts to deliver consultation, training, and resources, the organization strengthens organizational capacity because access to specialized knowledge enables programs to implement evidence-based practices and improve supports for individuals with dual diagnoses.
- Standardization of Diagnostic Criteriamethodology: diagnostic_accuracy_enhancementBy developing and promoting the use of specialized diagnostic tools like the DM-ID alongside the DSM, the organization improves diagnostic accuracy for individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities because standardized, population-specific criteria address the limitations of general psychiatric assessments in this population.
- Whole-Person Integrated Care Modelmethodology: whole_person_approachBy promoting a whole-person, biopsychosocial approach, the organization improves outcomes for individuals with dual diagnoses because integrating biological, psychological, and social factors — and bridging siloed mental health and intellectual/developmental disability systems — leads to more accurate diagnoses and effective, person-centered treatment.
