BHDP evaluated COE-BT, a learning collaborative funded by the California Health Care Foundation (CHCF) that endeavors to improve equity-centered and recovery-oriented behavioral health outcomes through increasing access to behavioral telehealth and improving client activation and engagement, through a subcontract with the California Institute for Behavioral Health Solutions (CIBHS).

The project included comprehensive training on behavioral health equity and evaluation of improved knowledge and incorporation of equitable practices in behavioral health services. BHDP participated in the collaborative’s core design team and was responsible for guiding decisions about data use for quality improvement and evaluation, as well as supporting participating teams with collecting and understanding data.
