2025 MAP Dates Coming Soon
Managing and Adapting Practice (MAP) Training
What is MAP?
|
MAP is a clinical framework and decision support system designed to help improve the quality of mental healthcare delivered to children and adolescents in NYS. MAP was created by PracticeWise,LLC, and extensive research and testing has been conducted that demonstrates its effectiveness in helping clinicians deliver care that improves youth mental health outcomes.
MAP provides NYS' mental health agencies and programs, and the supervisors and clinicians within them, with a comprehensive online resource to assist them in coordinating and supplementing the use of evidence-based practices for children’s mental health. MAP, with its focus on tailored care and measurable outcomes, also helps to prepare NYS' clinical workforce to meet the new demands and requirements of NYS' transition, to managed behavioral healthcare.
