We are excited to be working with you to create a more bright and promising future. Following below are more details about the tweaks and improvements we have made.
EBP Hub (EB Portal)
Robust Self-Paced eLearning Platform
We consolidated all our online portal transactions into a more modern user interface with EBP Hub. We rebuilt, and expanded our self-paced, eLearning platform which now features best in class short and long form masterclasses, better user activities reporting and classes designed to give members instant access to education and resources that will help them work effectively with their clients.
Online Masterclasses & Professional Credentialing
We have updated our training and professional credentialing/certification programs to better support the field. This includes robust support for tenured professionals and their leadership. Training now has a distinct focus on Industry Recognized Credentialed content with an emphasis on helping agencies build in-house capacity for sustaining training they receive. We have also introduced the new Human Services Associate program, which is designed to support new associate professionals and others who are interested in entering the field.
The Masterclasses and Certification programs are a structured curriculum of training and self-study credentialing procedure established to prepare individuals for a career in human, social and justice services. It also aids in the recruitment and retention of skilled and talented staff members who become part of a nationwide network of professionals devoted to improving their effectiveness and enhancing the performance of their agencies and organizations.
Industry Recognized Credentialed (IRC's) Masterclasses
You can now look to us to provide industry recognized models so you don't have to look very far for essential training every professional needs. Our primary emphasis with these training is to help agencies develop in-house capacity for sustaining the training in-house and rely less on outside expertise.
Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Cognitive Behavioral Approaches (CBT)
Substance Use Disorders (AOD)
EB Pathways Conference Updates
Our Semi-Annual conference for both practitioners and organizations (plus leadership) is now called EB Pathways and will be represented by the following logo with each ring representing the layers of people required for bringing to life the power of evidence-based practices.
The conference typically will include a general session and a few additional courses for all attending as well as Masterclass pathways. Those attending the conference as a practitioner will take the Masterclass for Practitioners as their path through the conference. Leadership will take the masterclass for leadership as their pathway.
EBP Society Quarterly
We are revamping the EBP Society Quarterly Journal to provide more in-depth research and content that is available exclusively for our members.
