2024 SFBTA Research Award Call 


SFBT and National Evidence-Based Registries

SAMHSA NREPP: Solution-Focused Brief Therapy is now included in Substance Abuse Mental Health Service Administration’s National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices (SAMHSA NREPP). Solution-Focused Group Therapy has met NREPP’s minimum requirements for review and has been independently assessed and rated for Quality of Research and Readiness for Dissemination. This is another important milestone for SFBT and many thanks to Teri Pichot, Sara Smock Jordan, Terry Trepper, Johnny Kim, and Cynthia Franklin for working with NREPP to get this reviewed and on the national evidence-based registry!
