Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for School-Based Settings; 2-day training

---

A skills-based training designed to support SMHPs in applying the foundations of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy within the school setting.

CBT for Schools provides an introduction to, or a refresher on, the core principles and practical use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) within school settings. This non-manualized approach emphasizes flexibility and the use of brief, skills-focused CBT strategies while using measurement-based care to monitor and reflect on student progress. This is a practice-based learning experience in which school mental health professionals will participate in discussions, role plays, and case-based exercises designed to connect CBT theory directly to school-based practice.

By the end of this session, participants will:
