Training Description: Although CBT has been found, through rigorous research, to have the most evidence for effectively treating childhood depression, many clinicians have found that it does not necessarily translate from the research lab to the real world conditions that they face in community-based settings. Often, clients have multiple presenting problems and complex backgrounds and needs that require a more flexible approach to treatment. This training will present a practical approach to adapting CBT in a way that both respects the empirical evidence AND the values, needs, and preferences of the children and families you work with. We will cover the Transdiagnostic approach to treating children, where underlying core processes are identified and targeted, in order to more effectively treat our clients with co-morbid conditions, such as anxiety and trauma. We will discuss assessment, case conceptualization, treatment planning and core interventions including Safety Planning, Behavioral Activation, Changing Cognitions, Affect Regulation, Social Skills Training, Problem Solving, Family Interventions and Relapse Prevention from a Modular CBT lens.

The Trainer: Christine Frazita is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has over 30 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents and adults. After graduating from UC Berkeley in 1984, she began practicing case management and individual, family and group therapy in agencies such as Children’s Protective Services, the Parent-Infant Center in San Francisco, Edgewood Children’s Center, Children’s Hospital Oakland, Kaiser Psychiatry, San Francisco’s Parent’s Place, and California Pacific Medical Center. Over the last 15 years, Christine has been in private practice in San Francisco, practicing psychotherapy, supervising interns and residents, and mentoring and training therapists in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness-based Stress Resilience. She also trains parents, teachers, health practitioners, and other community members in becoming more resilient to personal and occupational stress. Christine remains incredibly enthusiastic about the science and art of psychotherapy, and loves sharing the foundations of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with clinicians from all theoretical orientations.

Training objectives:

Participants will be able to:

1. Describe the difference between evidence based treatment and evidence base practice

2. Name and Explain at least 4 components of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy

3. Identify at least 3 underlying core processes that maintain symptoms for children and youth where co-morbid conditions are present (such as depression with anxiety and PTSD)

4. Give examples of at least 4 CBT skill modules that can be used to support a reduction in child and adolescent depression
