Child and Adolescent Training in Evidence-Based Psychotherapies

REACH’s Child and Adolescent Training In Evidence-based Psychotherapy program (CATIE) offers hands-on psychotherapy training programs for child mental health, behavioral and emotional disorders such as ADHD, disruptive/aggressive behaviors, depression, anxiety, and PTSD. These programs equip clinicians with evidence-based treatment techniques that work for children, adolescents and their families.

REACH uses evidence-based psychotherapies derived from rigorous scientific evaluations of efficacy and outcomes.

CATIE focuses on the use of cognitive behavior therapy, behavior therapy and other proven methods. CATIE is an excellent opportunity for child and adolescent clinicians to upgrade or learn new skills and interventions.

Evidence-based psychotherapy training occurs during a 2-day workshop, with extensive role-plays and feedback. This is supplemented with phone consultation for 12 months (twice monthly) via toll-free conference calls with nationally known expert consultants and treatment developers.

Training certificates are awarded to clinicians who complete full training (face-to-face training and follow-up consultation calls).

The 4 treatments and their accompanying manuals consist of brief, 8- to 12-session interventions that are flexible and easily adaptable to various clinical situations. Assessment strategies are reviewed to help clinicians gauge clients’ suitability for specific interventions. The psychotherapy interventions emphasize coping strategies, problem solving, parenting, family communication, cognitive restructuring and more. For those wishing to become truly expert, we also offer "Master Clinician" training, enabling learners to become expert in the major forms of therapy for most childhood behavioral and emotional disorders.  Master Clinicians may qualify to become trainers in their own right, enabling them to offer REACH psychotherapy training to other therapists in their own clinical treatment settings.
