A Walk in My Shoes: Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy with Children and Adolsecents
Event Navigation
The speaker for this event is Audrina Jones Bunton, MA, LPCS
Trauma-focused CBT is a short-term, skills-based therapy that integrates humanistic, cognitive behavioral, and familial strategies to help youths with PTSD or functional impairments as a result of trauma. TF-CBT has been proven to be effective with short-term distress, depression, anxiety, and externalizing behaviors. In this workshop, Audrina Bunton will introduce TF-CBT interventions specifically tailored to meet the needs of traumatized children and adolescents experiencing emotional and psychological difficulties. Audrina will also augment awareness with case studies and a “walk in someone else’s shoes” to increase participants’ understanding of relevant trauma experiences that go beyond what may be easily seen or communicated.
