Online Training Description:

The need for trauma treatment with adolescents has reached nearly unprecedented levels, necessitating an increased demand for effective therapeutic interventions. Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based treatment method designed to help children and adolescents recover from traumatic experiences. This introductory training offers mental health professionals a comprehensive overview of this gold-standard therapy model.

Anette Birgersson—a certified TF-CBT trainer—brings a wealth of expertise to this training, which extends beyond TF-CBT to include:

• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
• Prolonged Exposure
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Emotional Regulation Group Therapy

Birgersson is highly regarded for her work with adolescents in the USA and Europe and for her engaging training approach for professionals interested in helping traumatized youths.

The 3.5-hour training will include discussion and interaction on:

• Trauma and its associated symptoms
• The TF-CBT model and its core components
• Techniques for addressing trauma-related symptoms
• Skills in strengthening parent-child relationships
• Processing a youth’s trauma narrative
• Strengthening a youth’s cognitive coping skills
• Providing psychoeducation related to trauma
• Participant practice implementing TF-CBT through interactive exercises

This training provides a thorough overview of the TF-CBT model, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills to integrate this approach into their practice. This training is an essential first step for those seeking to become certified TF-CBT providers and join a growing network of trauma-informed clinicians. Ultimately, Birgersson developed this training to empower practitioners to make a significant impact in the lives of youths who have experienced trauma, contributing to the advancement of mental health care in this critical field.
