Course Description
Basic Training:
This course will provide an in-depth overview of the entire Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy model, an evidence-based treatment model for traumatized children and adolescents ages 3-18. Trainees will learn practical interventions from the model that they can immediately apply in their work with clients. This training will include demonstrations of TF-CBT techniques as well as roleplays within dyads and small groups.
Advanced Training:
The advanced training will help therapists broaden and deepen their application of TF-CBT in their work. We will discuss the application of TF-CBT with special situations and populations such as: Childhood Traumatic Grief, Foster Care, Ongoing Trauma and other special populations. TF-CBT practitioners will also deepen their use of the Trauma Narrative by adding structure to help children overcome avoidance of their trauma memories.
Presentation Format:
Both trainings are presented through an interactive lecture which includes:
- Powerpoint presentation
- Small group activities
- Video demonstrations of interventions
- Clinical case presentations
- Time for questions, answers and discussion
