Looking after yourself as a clinician when working with PTSD.

Putting it Together: how you and your service can put into practice what you have learned; identifying and problem solving barriers, planning and implementation going forward.

This course is suitable for mental health professionals (with or without a core training), psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists, and individuals interested in gaining insights into treating PTSD using CBT. This training can serve as a refresher course for those who have previous experience of working with TF-CBT.

Note: This course provides an overview of TF-CBT and is intended for mental health professionals with a foundational understanding of CBT principles. Attendees are encouraged to continue their education and seek supervision as needed, especially when working with complex cases of PTSD.

Consultation with a qualified mental health professional is essential for any clinical practice involving assessment, formulation, diagnosis or treatment.
