Increasing Access to Care for Children with Restrictive Eating Disorders by Optimizing Integrated Behavioral Health Care

With funding provided by UnitedHealthcare, CTC-RI is excited to announce a funding and training opportunity to increase pediatric integrated behavioral health (IBH) capacity in up to five RI-based practices. This project aims to increase the capacity of pediatric IBH Care Teams to support children with restrictive eating disorders by training in the gold standard for treatment – Family Based Treatment (FBT). Selected practices will participate in a 12-month ECHO® program that will include didactic training and case-based learning. This project is geared for practices with an established IBH program and IBH clinician on staff. The ECHO® program will begin September 2023 and run through August 2024. A call for applications will be launched on July 25 and will be due on August 21.
