Title: Advancing SUD Treatment Through MBC
Date/Time: Thursday, June 4, 2026 | 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT
Registration Link: Advancing Substance Use Disorder Treatment Through Measurement-Based Care

Our partners at Greenspace Health are hosting an educational webinar focused on improving substance use disorder (SUD) treatment through Measurement-Based Care (MBC).

SUD care presents unique challenges where traditional pre and post models of measurement may not capture the complexities of recovery. As a result, many organizations are working without the consistent, actionable data needed to fully understand and support client progress.

On June 4, from 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT, tune in to hear from a panel of clinical and research leaders from the Yale MBC Collective and the HEALing Measurement Center as they share practical insights on applying MBC in SUD settings:

  • Dr. Jessica Barber, Assistant Clinical Professor, Yale University School of Medicine;
  • Dr. Sandra Resnick, Professor of Psychiatry, Yale University School of Medicine;
  • Dr. Kelli Scott, Assistant Professor, Center for Dissemination and Implementation Science, Department of Medical Social Sciences, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine; and
  • Host: Simon Weisz, President & Co-Founder, Greenspace Health.

This is a great opportunity to explore how MBC can help address SUD treatment challenges by equipping providers with the tools and insights needed to deliver more consistent, outcomes-informed care. Attendees will learn how to integrate MBC into workflows, scale across diverse programs, and use data to inform care decisions.

We encourage all RCPA behavioral health provider members to join this important conversation and learn from experts who are actively advancing MBC in substance use care.

Register here – Thank you, and we hope you can join!

For immediate release:

Chestnut Ridge Counseling Services Inc. (CRCSI) is thrilled to announce that it has received a $100,000 grant from Staunton Farm Foundation to enhance the agency’s new Electronic Health Record in the upcoming year. This monumental task could potentially support a new approach to providing treatment through the utilization of integrated assessment and diagnostic tools, providing real time outcomes. Those rich outcomes will enhance the process of care and the collaboration between patient and treatment providers.

CRCSI turned to Staunton Farm Foundation for assistance with this project, being aware of the Foundation’s extensive philanthropic history of funding initiatives to improve mental health and substance abuse services for the residents of the area. Additionally, CRCSI has been the recipient of past awards from the Foundation and has had the pleasure of working with them on previous rewarding projects.

CRCSI has been a leader in mental health care in Western Pennsylvania since 1969 and has long been active in community projects that inspire the health of the community. CRCSI collaborates with other agencies and partners including, but not limited to, Fayette County Drug & Alcohol Commission, Fayette County Behavioral Health Administration, Carelon Health of Pennsylvania, and WVU Medicine/ Uniontown Hospital, to name a few.

Staunton Farm Foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of people who live with mental illness and substance use disorders. The Foundation works to enhance behavioral health treatment, support, and recovery through grant making to nonprofit organizations in 10 southwestern Pennsylvania counties (Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Lawrence, Washington, and Westmoreland).
