This weekend, REACH led a fully-funded training, Patient-Centered Mental Health in Pediatric Primary Care (PPP), for Georgia-based primary care providers. Thanks to a generous donor, participants attended at no cost and were left with increased skills and confidence in assessing, diagnosing, and treating the mental health of their patients. 142 of Georgia’s 159 counties are designated health professional shortage areas (HPSAs), meaning that access to mental health care is even more difficult for many Georgia residents. Thank you to this weekend’s training participants for your commitment to increasing families’ access to evidence-based mental health care! . . . . . #MentalHealthMonth2024 #MentalHealthAwareness2024 #REACK4kids #childrensmentalhealth #MentalHealthMonth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #childMentalHealth #pediatricMentalHealth #mentalHealthPrimaryCare #pediatricMentalHealthTraining #childhoodMentalHealth #pediatricCME #pediatricContinuingEd #mentalHealthMatters #mentalWellnessMatters #mentalHealthAdvocate #mentalHealthSupport #familyMentalHealth #pediatricPrimaryCare #nursePractitioner #familyPhysician #mentalHealthAwareness #pediatricMentalHealthMatters

May is Mental Health Month! Mental Health Month was first established in 1949 to increase awareness of the importance of mental wellness, reduce the stigma surrounding mental illness, and improve access to mental health resources for everyone. This is an opportunity to educate ourselves, share and access support, and commit to building a brighter future for those living with mental illness. Some facts and figures according to @namicommunicate: *1 in 5 children suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder each year, yet only 20% of them receive effective treatment. *Students aged 6-17 with mental, emotional, or behavioral concerns are 3x more likely to repeat a grade. *Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among people aged 10-14 and the 3rd leading cause of death among those aged 15-24 in the U.S. Follow along this month as we share more information, resources, and action items. . . . . . #MentalHealthMonth2024 #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth2024 #MentalHealthMonth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #childMentalHealth #pediatricMentalHealth #anxietyInChildren #ADHDInChildren #mentalHealthNonprofit #mentalHealthOrganization #mentalHealthPrimaryCare #pediatricMentalHealthTraining #childhoodMentalHealth #pediatricCME #pediatricContinuingEd #mentalHealthMatters #mentalWellnessMatters #mentalHealthAdvocate #mentalHealthSupport #familyMentalHealth #pediatricPrimaryCare #nursePractitioner #familyPhysician #mentalHealthCauses #hospitalAdministration #mentalHealthAwareness #pediatricMentalHealthMatters #REACH4kids

The Importance of Adult Behavioral Health in Primary Care 🌟 About 1 in 4 adults suffer from a diagnosable mental illness in a given year, according to @hopkinsmedicine. The REACH Institute is offering a specialized virtual training for primary care providers on June 21-23, 2024 that focuses on common mental health concerns in adults. The three-day training (followed by four months of ongoing coaching and mentorship from experts in the field) will equip clinicians to assess, diagnose, and treat adult mental health concerns, which present differently and have different treatments than in children. The program covers topics including substance use, chronic pain, and adult ADHD, in addition to anxiety, depression, psychosis, and bipolar disorder. Click the link in our bio to register today!

“Because primary care clinicians have become the de facto front line of mental health care, a new approach has grown to use doctors as an extension of psychologists and psychiatrists.” REACH is honored to be featured in this @politico article shedding much-needed light on the nationwide effort to address the soaring rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide among young people. The article is a must-read for anyone concerned about the mental health of our nation's youth, and we’re proud to be included as an organization at the forefront of developing innovative, evidence-based solutions to expand access to high-quality mental healthcare for all children.

Hello, Instagram! We are The REACH Institute and since 2006, we’ve been providing evidence-based mental health training to health care providers with the goal of increasing access to effective mental health care for children everywhere. 1 in 5 U.S. children experiences a mental health disorder, but only 20% of them ever receive effective treatment. This is a critical disparity with devastating consequences…but REACH provides a solution: We train clinicians to confidently assess, diagnose, and treat common mental health concerns among children, bridging the gap and drastically improving outcomes (and it works!) Follow along for resources, info about upcoming trainings, and more!
