MATCH Training Announcement

Dear Maine Providers,

We are excited to announce that we are offering clinical training in the Modular Approach to Therapy for Children with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, or Conduct Problems (MATCH) through The Baker Center for Children and Families at no cost to you! The training will be held remotely via Zoom from May 6-10, 2024 from 9:00am - 4:30pm daily. Provider Agencies will be eligible to receive payment for time to offset the cost of sending clinicians to training and consultation based on the number of hours completed. The first part of the payment will be dispersed upon completion of the 5 days of training with full attendance, and the second part will be distributed upon completion of at least 11 clinical consultation calls (the minimum to be eligible for certification).

Please carefully review the attached flyer and training readiness checklist prior to registration. Registration information is provided in the attached flyer. Please email training@bakercenter.org with any questions.

Who Should Register
This training is intended for State of Maine licensed clinicians who work with youth in Maine with primary presenting problems related to anxiety, depression, trauma, and or conduct. Clinicians will be unable to complete consultation and certification in MATCH if they do not have appropriate clients that fit this criteria.

Licensed clinicians or conditionally licensed clinicians (LCSWs, LCPCs, LMFTs, psychologists) may register for this training. We will prioritize Children's Home and Community Treatment Clinicians. Outpatient providers are invited to register and will be offered any remaining spots available. Throughout our years of supporting agencies in implementing evidence-based interventions, we’ve found that organizational and peer support is critical to successful, sustainable implementation. Therefore, it is advantageous for agencies to send more than one clinician whenever possible.

What is MATCH?
MATCH is an evidence-based program built on CBT-based interventions that gives clinicians the tools and resources to support children and teenagers, ages 6-17, with anxiety, depression, trauma, or conduct-related problems and to tailor the intervention to each child and family. Unlike most specific counseling programs, which focus on a single problem (e.g., anxiety only), MATCH is designed for multiple problems related to anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and disruptive conduct, including conduct problems associated with ADHD. The MATCH program gives children and caregivers a specific set of scientifically proven tools to help manage these problems that come up at home, at school, or with friends.

Enrollees will receive:
• Five full days of training (35 hours),
• Training materials, including the MATCH manual,
• 25 hours of weekly to biweekly, group-based professional consultation in the months that follow the training.

Training Details
• The 5-Day training will be held on May 6-10, 2024 from 9:00am - 4:30pm daily via zoom. Attendance at all five days of training is expected.
• Participants are expected to attend consultation on a weekly then biweekly basis for approximately 9 months following the training and enter brief data after each session.
• Registration will close 3 weeks prior to each training date. There is no known commercial support or conflicts of interest related to this program.
