This training is suitable for: Psychotherapists, counsellors, psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, pediatricians, family doctors, drop in workers, shelter, and hostel workers.
Description: In this two-day workshop, key features of CBT will be explained and demonstrated so that participants gain an excellent foundation in CBT and are able to apply CBT techniques into their clinical work. Behavioral and cognitive interventions will be described including behavioral activation, cognitive restructuring and exposure. Practical, step-by-step guidelines on implementing CBT strategies will be demonstrated through examples, role-plays and videos. Participants will learn key CBT interventions, applications, obstacles and challenges of these in the treatment for post-traumatic stress, depression and anxiety.
Translating Neurobiology for Clinical Practice in the Treatment of Complex Trauma
Date: June 6, 2018 | Facilitator: Geraldine Crisci, MSW
This training is suitable for: Mental health professionals: psychotherapists, counselors, psychologists, and social workers.
Description: Achievements in the science of neurobiology over the past decade hold profound implications for the treatment of complex trauma, and how these advances in brain research relate to behavioural presentation. The workshop will outline the understanding of functional developmental level results in more appropriate and attainable goals for behavioural change and response, identify the barriers to growth and development for severely neglected children, and present how chaos and unpredictability in early care giving result in brain disorganization. The presenter will teach approaches to working with children who have been raised in chaotic, unpredictable and violent homes. Participants will leave with the four building blocks of functionality based on early caregiving, and understand the importance and application of developmental assessment in treatment planning.

June 11, 12, 18 & 19, 2018 | Facilitator: Nili R. Benazon, Ph.D.

Description: In this certificate program, participants will learn cognitive and behavioural strategies, including case formulation and conceptualization in CBT, identifying and modifying thoughts, behaviour activation and experiments, exposure, stress reduction strategies, and problem-solving therapy. This course is not focused on a specific client population or clinical disorder.
