Thank you for your interest in the Alaska Eating Disorder Alliance (AKEDA) Fall Conference: Immersive Eating Disorders Essentials. The CHD Family Services Training Center is offering training access funds to eligible professionals to attend this conference. Training access funds (TAF) reimburse agencies for funds used toward a staff person’s registration, or if the staff person lives outside of Anchorage, TAFs reimburse agencies for a staff person’s registration and travel costs.

TAFs are available to professionals who are employed by an eligible behavioral health agency that bills Medicaid for behavioral health services or receives grant funding from the Division of Behavioral Health. Click here for a list of eligible agencies.
Here's how the process will work:
