About: 
The AIMS (Advancing Integrated Mental Health Solutions) Center provides training, technical assistance and implementation support to help implement evidence-based integrated behavioral health programs. Through its IMPACT Implementation Center, it assists organizations interested in adapting IMPACT care for depression and other common mental disorders for their clinical practice. IMPACT is a patient-centered, team approach that integrates depression treatment into primary care and other medical settings. This model of care was tested in a randomized control trial in 8 healthcare systems across 5 states. Results from the study show that IMPACT is more than twice as effective as usual care for depression. It also improves physical and social functioning and patients’ quality of life while reducing overall health care costs over a four-year follow-up. To date, the AIMS Center has trained over 4,000 individuals and supported implementation of this evidence-based program in nearly 500 sites.
