1. Patients are given surveys about attitudes towards mental health, and how culture plays a role in their retention. 3. After Clinicians perform CBT one can measure patient progress using PHQ-9 4. GTR creates a comprehensive observation, professional development and evaluation protocol to track and evaluate clinician’s success in implementing culturally responsive practices: a. Evaluations take place quarterly, including prior to clinicians seeing clients. b. Professional developments are provided to clinicians to improve practice. c. More observations are held to track growth.

GTR has partnered with University Researchers' and we now have a list of pre and post-assessments that measure attitude about mental health and culture for clients, as well as pre and post-test for symptoms (i.e. PHQ-9); and pre and post-test for staff training. We have also developed an observational tool and professional development tool. We have also moved into a new space (our clinic), where we are seeing the client's that illustrate the demographic population we want to reach.
