Advancing Mental Healthcare, Together

At the Penn Collaborative for CBT and Implementation Science (Penn Collaborative), we believe everyone deserves access to high-quality mental healthcare. We partner with communities to make this a reality by integrating cutting-edge science and technology into real-world settings.

Our work is built on two core pillars:

• Implementation Partnerships: We work directly with community mental health organizations to train providers—including therapists, peer support specialists, and milieu staff—to effectively deliver and sustain Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based practices. Our approach is collaborative and community-centered, ensuring our support aligns with your organization's mission and the unique needs of those you serve.
• Innovating Through Research: Our research informs the future of mental healthcare implementation. We explore new frontiers like using artificial intelligence to bring implementation efforts to scale, using behavioral economics to enhance treatment delivery, developing tools to enhance culturally responsive care, and refining strategies that improve the sustainability of evidence-based practices.

The Penn Collaborative is located at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, but we foster research, training, and implementation partnerships around the world. To contact us, please click here.
