Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) training – no cost

Coordinated Care is providing a no-cost Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) training for contracted, in-network Coordinated Care providers and Indian Health Care Providers. This training will be held on Wednesday, May 14 and Thursday, May 15, 2025, from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day at Spokane Falls Community College, 3410 W Whistalks Wy, Spokane WA 99224 in the Multipurpose Conference Room #102/3/4.

Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an evidence-based treatment for children and adolescents impacted by trauma that includes participation by their parents or caregivers. Research shows that TF-CBT successfully resolves a broad array of emotional and behavioral difficulties associated with single, multiple and complex trauma experiences.

Learning Objectives and Outcomes

Participants will identify and discuss the rationale and benefits of the use of this trauma-specific treatment intervention for children and families experiencing post-traumatic stress and other emotional / behavioral impacts of significant adverse events.

Participants will have an opportunity to review, appraise and discuss the outcome evidence supporting the efficacy of TF-CBT.

Participants will identify and summarize, via the use of case studies and examples, how to implement the components of P.P.R.A.C.T.I.C.E.; the phase-oriented approach and the efficacy of this model for treating trauma and traumatic grief.

Participants will have the opportunity to demonstrate the process and approach of completing the Trauma Narrative with a practice case.

Participants will observe and practice strategies for intervening with both children and their parents or caregivers through training demonstrations and role-plays.

Participants will be able to verbalize and list the steps needed to develop improved fidelity adherence through ongoing post-training consultation, and the process leading to TF-CBT certification by model developers.
