Intermediary and purveyor organizations (IPOs) play a key role in disseminating and implementing behavioral health evidence-based practices. The COVID-19 pandemic created a time of crisis and disruption to behavioral health care delivery. Using the conceptual framework of basic, targeted, and intensive technical assistance (TA) from the Training and Technology Transfer Centers, case studies are used to describe how programs at The Center for Practice Innovations a state funded-intermediary organization, adapted its training and technical assistance to be delivered entirely remotely, to include content related to COVID-19 and to provide guidance on telehealth-based behavioral health care.
