Modular Approach to Therapy for Children with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, or Conduct Problems

MATCH or MATCH-ADTC is a protocol that organizes modular manualized practices for childhood anxiety, depression, trauma, and disruptive behavior problems. The program combines 33 procedures into a single, flexible system and uses expert designed flowcharts to organize the treatment plan to fit a child’s needs while fostering individualization to address comorbidity or therapeutic roadblocks. The protocol provides clear step-by-step instructions, activities, example scripts, timesaving tips, monitoring forms, and easy-to-read explanatory handouts and worksheets for individual sessions with children and their caregivers. Caregiver handouts are available in English, German, and Spanish. The MATCH Program is a trauma-informed approach that can be utilized to enhance the treatment skills of providers utilizing complementary trauma-focused evidence-based practices currently in use across the NCTSN.
