CETA Global Research Origins

Many of the CETA Global team were part of a multi-disciplinary team at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, which researched and addressed behavioral and mental health topics worldwide.

After years of fieldwork and clinical trials, the team developed and implemented a multi-problem approach, the Common Elements Treatment Approach (CETA), a care system based on existing evidence, trends in practice, interviews, and customer exploration. The team also incorporated principles critical to the scalability of the method in any cultural or geographic setting, regardless of socio-economic factors.

In 2022, with eight clinical trials under their belt, CETA decided to expand the impact of their work by building the software and algorithms that could scale CETA’s carefully researched, evidence-based transdiagnostic care system.

CETA Global’s software solution, “CareConfidence”, has been met with rave reviews from the mental health community, from the smallest rural clinics, all the way to the highest level of government and research institutions.
