REACH provides training to providers (pediatricians, family practitioners, child psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, psychologists, social workers, school personnel, and parent advocates) in recent advances in optimal methods for identifying, diagnosing and treating children’s emotional and behavioral problems. These programs are based on the latest scientifically established training procedures for assisting others to adopt new methods in assisting children. Most training programs entail 1-2 days of intensive, face-to-face initial training, followed by year-long hands-on support and consultation by phone with national experts in the use of the particular methods being taught. Training is available in the most recent assessment and diagnostic methods that can be feasibly applied in “real world” settings, evidence-based but user-friendly psychotherapeutic methods and manuals, optimal pharmacotherapeutic methods for primary care clinicians and mental health specialists, and optimal methods for reorganizing a clinical operation to implement a range of evidence-based methods. Current training programs include REACH's Primary Pediatric Psychopharmacology Programs (PPP), Child and Adolescent Training In Evidence-based Psychotherapy (CATIE), the Parent Empowerment Programs (PEP), and our School-based interventions offered through the REACH-supported School Mental Health Alliance. In addition to clinicians’ learning to apply the latest, high quality, science-based methods to yield more rapid improvements to children’s mental health, agencies often benefit by increased staff morale, decreased staff turn-over, improved consumer satisfaction, decreased no-show rates, and reduced agency risk exposure because of unsafe/outdated practices, or poor clinician-client relationships. Take a look at our training programs and find out which is right for you.
