Pre-Requisite: TF-CBTWeb

The Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) training is appropriate for Master’s level therapists and above or those who are working on a Master’s degree and providing mental health services under the supervision of a licensed professional. TF-CBT has more data (26 + randomized trials and a number of quasi-experimental studies) to support the model’s effectiveness in helping children and families overcome the impact of child abuse and trauma than any other therapy model available. TF-CBT has been recognized by the federal government as a model program and is included on numerous websites for evidence-based practices. 

At the conclusion of this TF-CBT training, participants will be able to: 

         Discuss the history, development, and research supporting Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) 

         Evaluate how to appropriately assist children and teens in developing skills that will support their coping in the aftermath of trauma 

         Assess how to effectively assist parents in developing coping skills and strategies for responding to children’s therapeutic needs in the aftermath of trauma 

         Describe the PRACTICE components of TF-CBT and how to implement the components with families impacted by trauma 

Upon completion of the virtual training, participants will have met a portion of the requirements for formal certification in TF-CBT (obtained through the Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy National Therapist Certification Program). The Virtual Training will count towards the formal certification in TF-CBT. However, a few guidelines must be met as established by the developers. Training participants are required to have a web camera (i.e., on a laptop computer or cell phone) in order to participate in the TF-CBT 3-day training via web-platform. 

Completion of TF-CBT Web2.0 is required as a prerequisite to the virtual TF-CBT training and should be submitted to the trainer 3 days prior to Day 1 of the virtual training.
