Fifteen Clinics Offer a Treatment Capable of Addressing Multiple Common Disorders (2017)

A total of fifteen outpatient clinics in Connecticut are offering an evidence-based treatment capable of addressing multiple common disorders called the Modular Approach to Therapy for Children with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Conduct Problems (MATCH-ADTC).  Clinicians who use this intervention like the various treatment components MATCH offers to engage a broad number of the children who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, and conduct problems. They also appreciate the flexibility the MATCH model offers to address changes in treatment needs during episodes of care. 

CHDI is partnering with the Department of Children and Families and Harvard University to disseminate the MATCH intervention to Connecticut outpatient clinics with the goal of improving access to evidence-based practices statewide. This has resulted in 1,000 children receiving MATCH since 2014.

• Charlotte Hungerford Center for Youth and Families
• Child Guidance Clinic For Central Connecticut
• Community Child Guidance Clinic
• Cornell Scott-Hill Health Center
• Lower Naugatuck Valley Parent-Child Resource Center
