Optum Idaho has partnered with the REACH Institute to develop a series of training modules designed to assist with children who display disruptive behavioral disorder (DBD) symptoms. These modules provide strategies and guidance to address a continuum of concerns for clinicians and mental health paraprofessionals as they work collaboratively with educators, and parents. Optum credentialled clinicians and paraprofessionals may access these modules through the Relias learning platform. 

Optum Idaho has developed a resource list of evidence-based practices (EBPs) to promote the use of scientifically established behavioral health interventions. Training and education in these EBPs will increase the expertise needed to provide effective interventions to members receiving services. Optum Idaho is not mandating use of specific evidence-based practices, but providing a clearinghouse of resources for providers to access based on their specific need and clinical judgement.

These lists identify General EBPs that can be utilized for a variety of treatment needs. They also identify EBPs for common diagnostic categories such as: Trauma, ADHD, Disruptive Behavior, Depression and Anxiety.  These resources include free, low-cost, and higher-cost resources. Links are provided for each resource to increase ease of access. Additionally, there are a variety of delivery methods (webinars, DVDs, books, etc.) in an effort to meet the educational needs of providers. Resources include relevant modules available through our e-learning system, Relias, that can increase skills and knowledge base for working with specific populations.

For additional information on EBPs, please visit the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) Evidence-Based Practices Resource Center.

Skills Training and Development is treatment for members whose functioning is sufficiently disrupted to the extent that it interferes with their daily life as identified by a comprehensive diagnostic assessment and functional assessment tool. Listed below are documents to assist with the development of these skills.

Therapeutic After-School and Summer Programs (TASSP) are structured programs which consist of a range of individualized therapeutic, recreational and socialization activities for youth. These individual and group therapeutic experiences assist youth in developing social, communication, behavior and basic living skills; as well as psychosocial and problem-solving skills.

TASSP are a collaboration between provider agencies, community-based organizations, professionals, and/or other entities. Click on the links below for more information about these valuable programs.
