Preschool PTSD Treatment/Youth PTSD Treatment (PPT/YPT) Training
The Center for Evidence to Practice (Center for E2P) has written this Request for Applications (RFA) to inform behavioral health practitioners in Louisiana who are equipped to successfully participate in Preschool PTSD Treatment/Youth PTSD Treatment (PPT/YPT) Training.
Due to the identified need for Medicaid behavioral health services specific to children and their caregivers, PPT/YPT has been selected by the Office of Behavioral Health (OBH) as a evidence-based practice that will be expanded statewide.
