While the rates of no-show have remained about the same throughout history, evidence-based interventions are needed to provide consumer with a continued and steady treatment regimen.

Social workers are an important link between the patient getting adequate mental health services and attending services. Social workers development of evidence-based interventions will assist in breaking down the challenges associated with barrier to no-shows.
