The vision of the St. Louis Regional Center of Excellence in Behavioral Health is to improve the service system in the St. Louis region for people with serious behavioral health disorders, thereby improving the wellness and recovery outcomes for persons with these disorders. We also envision improving the knowledge and skills—and indeed the health and well-being—of the workforce of those who serve them.

Current Trends in ACT Research & Practice
An online discussion
Tuesday, Jan. 19, from 12-2 p.m.
Join the St. Louis Regional Center of Excellence in Behavioral Health on January 19, from noon until 2 p.m. (Central), for an online webinar, “Current Trends in ACT Research & Practice,” featuring a keynote presentation by Maria Monroe-DeVita, PhD.
Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is one of the most effective community-based services for people with serious mental health disorders. Since its inception nearly 50 years ago, ACT has evolved and has needed to be responsive to changing times and service environments (e.g., the COVID-19 pandemic).
This webinar will help ACT providers understand current trends in ACT practice as well as research that informs ACT policy and practices.
Following Dr. Monroe-DeVita’s keynote, a panel of regional ACT experts will discuss current trends.
The Center of Excellence’s key personnel and “faculty” have extensive expertise in a wide range of behavioral health Evidence Based Practices training content and implementation experience that can be shared with providers, agencies, and system leaders throughout the St. Louis region.
Contact Center of Excellence Director of Training and Technical Assistance Julie Blanco at jblanco@placesforpeople.org to discuss opportunities for agency- or team-centered trainings.
Our experts are available to speak about Evidence Based Practices, best practices, and promising practices, in a variety of areas.
Our goals in these engagements are to share knowledge, raise awareness, decrease stigma, and promote compassion.
By combining human connection with evidence-based care, Places for People understands, empowers and supports people living with mental illness and substance use disorders.
