Helping children and adolescents identify and change thoughts is often the most difficult techniques for therapists to master. Cognitive behavior therapy is the most evidenced-based treatment for several mental health disorders in both children and adolescents. This 4-hour workshop will include demonstration and practice of several techniques to improve the therapists’ skills in helping the client move from unhealthy to healthy thinking.

At the conclusion of the program, participants should be able to:

• Explain the CBT approach and how it can be adapted for children/adolescents;
• Discuss how CBT can be used to treatment of depression or anxiety;
• Use CBT to help children/adolescents identify and change thoughts;
• Demonstrate at least two CBT techniques to facilitate change in children/adolescents.
