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.

The REACH Insitute Video Testimonial: Jasmin

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.

The REACH Insitute Video Testimonial: Priya

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.

The REACH Insitute Video Testimonial: JoAnn

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.
