  • Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)

    Trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) training is for professionals who provide mental health services.  It is an evidence-based treatment developed and tested by Drs. Esther Deblinger, Judith Cohen and Anthony Mannarino to help children and their caregivers overcome the negative effects of traumatic life events. TF-CBT is a clinic-based, short-term treatment that teaches children skills in stress management, cognitive processing, communication, problem solving and safety. It is essential that the child’s primary caregiver participate in the treatment to enhance parenting skills and manage caregivers’ own reactions to the child’s trauma.
