What’s Special About the CETA Approach?

Our innovation is a rigorous, science-backed, transdiagnostic system-of-care that can treat patients holistically in significantly less time than traditional care. We achieve this by teaching mental health practitioners how to address various mental, behavioral, and social problems together, in a single treatment flow. We then support and empower our providers by giving them the evidence-based tools and technologies they require to scale effective treatment, including the opportunity to become CETACertified™. The result? Patients get better faster, clinicians and counselors stay motivated, and mental health organizations can roll out faster, more effective care no matter where they are in the world.

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.

The Science is Clear
You can treat patients in up to 78% less time than traditional care.

With eight clinical trials under our belt, we are committed to the scientific study of effectiveness and implementation of CareConfidence to ensure that it works across a variety of contexts, settings, and populations. Click the button below for access to our research and clinical trial data.
