Partnerships to Promote  Evidence-Based Practice  Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a process in which the practitioner combines well-researched interventions with clinical experience and ethics, and client preferences and culture to guide and inform the delivery of treatments and services. The practitioner, researcher and client must work together in order to identify what works, for whom and under what conditions. This approach ensures that the treatments and services, when used as intended, will have the most effective outcomes as demonstrated by the research. It will also ensure that programs with proven success will be more widely disseminated and will benefit a greater number of people.               This Web resource, which is partially funded by a contract with NIMH, seeks to promote the integration of evidence-based mental health treatments into social work education and research.  The Evidence-Based Practice Resources section provides tools that can be used to identify EBPs, online resources that can inform the EBP process and a list of publications for further information. The Partnership Examples section highlights some existing partnerships created between researchers and practitioners that further EBP. Finally, the Upcoming EBP Events section highlights upcoming conferences, workshops and training opportunities for EBP.           Evidence-Based Practice Resources Partnership Examples Upcoming EBP-Related Events	Evidence-based practice  a process in which the practitioner combines well-researched interventions with clinical experience and ethics, and client preferences and culture to guide and inform the delivery of treatments and services (IASWR, 2007).      IASWR Developed Resources Partnerships to Integrate Evidence-Based Mental Health Practices into Social Work Education and Research   NASW Research Web Page: Evidence-Based Practice
