Description:
Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an empirically supported psychotherapy model for treating traumatized children and adolescents. The effectiveness of this approach is enhanced by integrating creative, developmentally appropriate interventions so that children will engage in treatment.

This two-day training will provide an overview of TF-CBT and will present creative interventions for the 8 components of TF-CBT: psychoeducation, relaxation, affective modulation, cognitive processing, trauma narrative, in vivo mastery, conjoint child-parent sessions, and enhancing safety. Therapeutic games, art, stories, and other innovative activities will be presented for use with traumatized children aged 4-16.

Through case examples, activity demonstrations, experiential exercises, and videos of actual client sessions, this training will combine theoretical material with hands-on therapeutic interventions. Participants will come away with a solid understanding of TF-CBT, and many new and innovative techniques for treating traumatized children and adolescents.
