Full Description

MATCH-ADTC is designed for youth ages 6-12. MATCH-ADTC is an evidence-based treatment that employs a cognitive-behavioral framework to address common childhood behavioral health concerns including depression, anxiety, conduct problems, and trauma. It incorporates psychoeducation as well as child and caregiver behavioral/cognitive-behavioral skill building. MATCH-ADTC employs a modularized approach that is flexible and encourages clinicians to tailor treatment to individual treatment needs. It also includes flow charts to aid clinicians in developing an effective treatment plan as well as brief child and parent report assessment tools that can be administered on a weekly basis to track client progress (see more here).

A growing body of research has documented the effectiveness of MATCH-ADTC in reducing symptoms of behavioral health concerns as well as therapist satisfaction in the use of MATCH-ADTC. More information on MATCH-ADTC, ongoing evaluation of this approach, and associated publications can be found at:
