Training content includes: Client identification and standardized assessment of children and their caregivers; interpretation, case conceptualization, record review practice; structured interviewing of children and caregivers, developing individualized treatment goals and safety plans, techniques for engaging caregivers who are in dissent/denial, PRACTICE component application of TF-CBT, and clinical skill development for working with this population. Training will include case application of TF-CBT using an evolving case study with video demonstration of skills. Clinicians will receive access to download a training packet, private online access to over 800 downloadable clinical resources for TF-CBT, access to a private TF-CBT PSB Clinical Discussion Forum with other participants and includes 11 group consultation calls co-facilitated by the trainers. Clinicians must attend at least 8 of 11 calls to successfully complete training.
