For general psychiatrists, neurologists, developmental-behavioral pediatricians, and other non-primary care clinicians, REACH helps you increase your skills and confidence in understanding, assessing, and diagnosing childhood disorders; working with parents and families; prescribing medications safely and effectively, and applying the latest psychotherapy techniques proven to work with children and families. REACH trainings for physicians fall into two categories, 1) psychotherapy and 2) pharmacotherapy. Both types of training occur during a 2-day workshop, with extensive role-plays and feedback. This initial training is followed by twice-monthly phone consultation for 6-12 months (length varies, depending on the training) via toll-free conference calls with nationally known expert consultants and treatment developers. All training programs rely on an extensive set of manuals, materials, and handouts. Enrollment in REACH programs entitles participants to 2 years' access to all manual and handout revisions and updates, so that you don't get outdated as new material comes along.
Training certificates are awarded to clinicians who complete full training (face-to-face training and follow-up consultation calls). 1. REACH’s Child and Adolescent Training in Evidence-Based Psychotherapies program (CATIE) offers hands-on psychotherapy training programs for behavioral and emotional disorders such as ADHD, disruptive/aggressive behaviors, depression, anxiety, and PTS. D. These programs equip clinicians with evidence-based treatment techniques that work for children, adolescents and their families. REACH only 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 psychotherapy interventions emphasize coping strategies, problem solving, parenting, family communication, cognitive restructuring and more.
