Overview
Considering the high lifetime prevalence of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and its profound impact on psychological well-being, as well as its implications for health, social, economic and overall quality of life, it is important for mental health professionals to have a comprehensive understanding of how to assess and treat trauma. Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based treatment approach with the potential to transform a chronic condition, often associated with poor long-term psychosocial outcomes, into a condition that can significantly improve within a few months.
This hands-on workshop is designed to equip participants with the skills to assess, conceptualize and plan an individualized treatment for clients presenting with PTSD. A number of CBT interventions will be presented to assist clients in addressing safety and stabilization concerns, managing distressing emotions and physical sensations, identifying and modifying unhelpful beliefs, processing traumatic memories, and reducing avoidance of trauma-related stimuli. Additionally, we will discuss how to assess and clinically approach co-morbid conditions such as substance use, depression, and suicidal ideation. This workshop will go over how to deliver each treatment component, from the initial assessment to the implementation of strategies for termination and relapse prevention. By the end of this training, you will have the necessary tools to reduce the impact that trauma has on the lives of your clients.
