Benefits
Referrals and Member Search
CAATCH members can search the member directory for specific members or to find members near a given city for a therapy referral. Types of service, types of practitioners, and language spoken by the provider can all be searched.
Learning and Discussion Forums
Our community offers access to other Asian American practitioners active in serving and working throughout Chicagoland. Membership gives you access to these individuals and a community of other like-minded professionals committed to reaching the underserved Asian American population. We meet quarterly to discuss, network and consult with each other around mental health issues within the Asian American population. Networking and marketing opportunities are also available as we increase interaction and work within the community.
Mentorship opportunities
Student and early career professional members are introduced to other more experienced CAATCH members who can give feedback on their clinical work and professional development.
Membership Form
If you would like to join CAATCH, please answer the following questions using the box below.
1. Briefly describe your interest in working with the Asian American community.
2. Please give a short description of your career history and the work you currently do. If you are a student or in training, please give us a short history of your education and current training experience.
3. Given that many of our referrals will be coming from faith-based communities, how comfortable are you in accepting these types of referrals?
4. Have you ever had any action or discipline by another licensing body or professional organization? If yes, please state the nature of the action/discipline involved.
CAATCH reserves the right to terminate membership to a member if they fail to cooperate in resolution of a complaint that is made known within the network. We also require transparency regarding any action or discipline by other professional organizations or licensing bodies.
