Full Recording of Brief CBT with Children and Young People

This workshop provides a practical introduction to Brief CBT for Children and Young People. We will examine the distinctive challenges of working with children and young people and provide practical guidance on using Brief CBT (B-CBT) with this group. Guidance is given on working with parents, caregivers, teachers and siblings.

The approach and workshop is based on the work of Alison Triste as reflected in her new book, CBT for Young People.
