Training
Our goal is to provide the training you require to offer quality collaborative mental health services for children and adolescents. Our trainings can include new program development, current program enhancement, training in evidence based treatments, case consultation, research assistance, and more efficient monitoring services to track patient progress and outcome.
Each training we provide is different and tailored to the specifics of your setting. If you are just beginning to establish mental health services in a primary care practice, we can assist you with all the proper steps to plan and design a successful program, including the preparation for your practice, search and hiring of appropriate mental health professionals, clinical training for your staff, and developing a plan for implementation, collaboration, and monitoring of treatment.
If you have an existing mental health specialist in your practice or are an established mental health program who collaborates with a primary care setting, we can provide training in the most up to date screening and diagnostic tools, or provide clinical training in SKIP methods for treating and consulting on ADHD, disruptive behavior disorders, anxiety, and mild depression.
