Pediatric mental health training and award now available!

Pediatric Mental Health Training Award:

The REACH Institute is pleased to announce the Pediatric Mental Health Training Award! This honor will be given to a non-profit organization and/or federally qualified health center that serves culturally diverse, underserved families in low-income communities. The award will fund all costs typically associated with REACH’s flagship Patient-Centered Mental Health in Pediatric Primary Care (PPP) program (for which AMA PRA Category 1 credits are available) for up to 50 pediatric primary care providers. In addition to the PPP Program, organizations can opt for the award to also fund the costs associated with one or more of REACH’s other training programs, for mental health clinicians, educators and/or family peer advocates. The pediatric mental health crisis affects everyone, but especially impacts under-resourced communities. By offering this Award, REACH hopes that these newly trained professionals will feel empowered to diagnose and support the children and families they serve.
