Overview
Mission
Our mission is to ensure the most effective, scientifically-proven mental health care reaches all children and families.
What it reported doing in 2024
The child and adolescent training in evidence-based psychotherapies (catie) program is a partnership between the reach institute and leading clinicians and treatment researchers to provide therapists training in evidence-based psychotherapy treatments. Through catie, therapists learn how to accurately assess their clients and provide and providecognitive-behavioral therapy (cbt) for disruptive behavior symptoms, anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, and trauma symptoms. Training includes a 2-day workshop followed by 12 group consultation calls. We also have catie courses for primary care providers: cbt for anxiety in pediatric primary care (cbt-a in ppc), practical behavior management in primary care (pbm), addressing trauma in pediatric primary care (atipp), and mental health training for school nurses. In 2024, 109 primary care providers completed cbt-a training, 33 primary care providers completed pbm training, 18 providers completed atipp training, and 57 completed mental health training for school nurses.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 75% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
