• Therapists must be enrolled in the parent grant and be randomized to the FTTIP condition
• Agency leaders must be enrolled in the parent grant study
• To be included in the study, agency leaders must have the authority to allocate agency resources (e.g., giving trainees protected time to participate in training activities, allowing smaller caseloads as they begin implementation) and be willing to participate in agency readiness and implementation consultation.
