VTCPAP is sponsoring a cohort of PCPs to the REACH Institute’s PPP training in May 2026!

Register Today!

Please note that for this session, VTCPAP will be sending a cohort of Vermont-based providers to (virtually) join the May 2026 national PPP cohort, rather than hosting a Vermont-only cohort. The training content and format will otherwise be the same as in previous rounds of PPP and will allow you an opportunity to connect with one another and other pediatric providers from around the country.

Training Dates and Times (EST):

• Friday, May 1: 12:00 PM – 5:30 PM
• Saturday, May 2: 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM
• Sunday, May 3: 8:30 AM – 1:30 PM

CME  credits available 

VTCPAP is offering this gold-standard pediatric mental health training to PCPs for FREE. 

We've received really excellent feedback from providers who have attended this training in the past, and we hope that you find it equally engaging and useful to your practice!

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us at vtcpap@vtcpap.com.

“Where have you been my whole career!? This was the most valuable CME course I have ever taken. It was on point, clear, concise but comprehensive, goal-oriented and motivational. I have taken a number of pediatric psychiatry courses in the past and none come even close to this one.” – PPP Attendee

We had an enthusiastic response to our recent Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) training and are pleased to announce that we will be offering another cohort in September 2026. 

This cohort will take place over four consecutive days, rather than two full days, and will be held from 9:00–1:00 EST on September 22–25, 2026. 

Because space is limited, participation will be determined through an application process. Priority will be given to clinicians who work with children and caregivers and who accept Medicaid and other common insurance types, in order to expand access to the SPACE model across Vermont. 

More details will be shared soon. In the meantime, you may email vtcpap@vtcpap.com to be added to the waitlist and notified when the training application is released.

VTCPAP is proud to present a three-hour virtual training, Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), led by Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Psychology and Neuroscience at Duke University, Nancy Zucker, Ph.D. and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Duke University and Training Director at the Duke Center for Eating Disorders Ilana Brodzki Pilato, Ph.D.

WHO IT’S FOR: Mental health clinicians and pediatric medical providers seeking to expand knowledge and skills in this area.

This practical, 3 hour, evidence-informed training prepares providers to identify and treat Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) in young children.

Hour 1: Overview of ARFID, including early identification, core features, and highlights from recent clinical findings. PCPs are welcome to attend the full 3-hour training or join just this first hour if that better fits their schedules.

Hours 2–3: Skills-based strategies, including the Family Assisted Diet (a trauma-informed, family-centered approach) and Feeling & Body Investigators techniques to help children build food confidence, recognize hunger/fullness cues, and reduce anxiety around eating.

The training includes two optional follow-up consultation calls for providers implementing ARFID strategies, providing an opportunity to discuss cases. Attendees will receive a link after the training to express interest in these sessions. Please note that CEU credit is available only for the main three-hour training, not for the optional follow-up calls.

"The Collaborative Assessment and Management of Suicidality (CAMS) is one of a handful of suicide-focused clinical treatments with extensive clinical trial support. CAMS is a therapeutic framework that focuses on patient-identified "drivers" of what makes them suicidal. CAMS is patient centered and focuses on empathy, collaboration, and honesty. As an outpatient intervention CAMS is designed to form a strong clinical alliance and to increase motivation in the patient with helpful clinical documentation that reduces the risk of malpractice liability."
