An Evidence-Based Training
Description:
Trauma-Focused CBT is the most often used empirically-based (and SAMSHA recommended) trauma treatment approach. However, younger children, especially under the age of 8, often need a more playful and play-based approach to any CBT approach due to their developmental limitations.This didactic and experiential workshop will offer child/play therapists an overview of how to incorporate play therapy-based techniques into Trauma Focused-CBT treatment with children making it a more play therapy-based approach. Advanced-level issues and difficulties in using TF-CBT with children will also be addressed. Participants are strongly recommended to take the 10-hour free on-line course in TF-CBT (tfcbt.musc.edu), as this seminar will build upon that base.
