This year, in addition to creating our space on the website, we are presenting a conference workshop that came directly out of what you asked for in the survey. on Friday, October 17th! Come and join us!

This presentation will provide an overview of EBP and describe processes and content needed to support, teach, apply and sustain EBP in psychiatric settings. Strategies designed to activate the system and sustain engagement are discussed.  An adult-learning student-centered approach will be presented as an important stance for effective EBP teaching. How to handle the lack of research needed to answer EBP psychiatric nursing question will be discussed.
