Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Using Workbooks In Work with Young People in Treatment Webinar
This webinar is for mental health professionals, therapists, and clinicians who work with young people in various treatment settings.
This webinar discusses the use of workbooks in treatment with young people, in any form of treatment, residential or outpatient, and some of the dos and don’ts. We discuss the role of workbooks as an addendum to and part of treatment, rather than the entirety of the treatment, and the value of workbooks in helping to shape, implement, and measure treatment, as well as framing the basic concepts of treatment. Finally, we provide guidelines for the effective use of workbooks in treatment – and when not to use them.
