Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) for Youth Trauma (Virtual)

This training is brought to you by the Advancing the Recruitment and Retention in our Workforce (ARROW) program learning community.

This workshop is designed for school-based providers to learn the theory and practice of CBT for treating trauma in youth including understanding ACEs, resilience, and making conceptualization adaptations for youth.

This comprehensive, live, virtual workshop will show you how to apply evidence-based cognitive and behavioral interventions for youth with trauma and PTSD through lecture, role plays, and case discussions. You’ll learn how to create a trauma-focused case conceptualization, trauma-based treatment planning, how to assess PTSD and treatment progress, and how to conduct trauma narratives and trauma based cognitive processing (TF-CBT) with practice.
