Expanding Access To Mental Health Care
The US has a pediatric mental health crisis. At least 6 million children and teens were suffering from mental illness before COVID-19. Most did not have access to mental health services even then. During the pandemic, pediatric mental illness has skyrocketed, while services have stayed flat. By providing mental health training for doctors, therapists, educators, and parents, REACH increases the nation’s capacity to help children with mental health disorders.

1 in 5 children experience mental health issues,
but only 20% receive the comprehensive treatment they need.
The REACH Institute provides training to health professionals all over the world on Adult Behavioral Health in Primary Care and Treating Disruptive Behavior Disorders.
Every pediatric and family practice resident should be required to take this course!
I will take away a renewed appreciation for assessment tools, a new comfort with treatment plans, and an excitement for future partnerships
Lisa Barker, MD
Boise, ID
This course has made me more comfortable in dealing with my patients with mental illness
As the PCP, I would normally refer to psychiatry or psychology, but I would now feel more capable to handle the more straightforward cases.
Diane Skerin, MD
West Palm Beach, FL
I came into the course as a general pediatrician with no training or experience in pediatric mental health management
Following the course, I now feel empowered, equipped and most importantly, supported to go back home and implement meaningful change in my practice.

all evidence-based, to help me feel more confident in managing depression, ADHD and anxiety in the office

REACH offered a safe environment to learn and share in
It was, and continues to be, a supportive, invigorating process! It was motivating and has increased my confidence in assessment, diagnosis of mental health cases in my day to day life and practice.
Dayna Leavens, CPNP, MSN
Twin Falls, ID
This is the first conference I’ve been to where I felt like the entire weekend will impact my practice
I think that is due to the engaging, hands-on and fun format. It kept me engaged throughout.
Also, I feel like the materials we received are sending me out into the world armed with the tools
I need to put the information I learned into practice.
Alice Mar, MD
Falls Church, VA
Very interesting topics. Great information, facts, links, articles as references.
Great role plays and all amazing REACH trainers!

St. Petersburg, FL
The training provided an interactive learning experience for a highly salient topic with limited community resources.
The specific tools provided (for screening, treatment, and follow-up) and
the network of providers are so valuable for sustaining this in practice.
Leanne Marcotrigiano, MD

The opportunity to learn information to help me manage psychiatric conditions in my patients
in this time where demand clearly outweighs supply of services, is going to be excellent for me as a PCP in my community.

in practice is invaluable!
