ForwardEvidence Based Therapy for PTSD: Cognitive Processing Therapy Phone Consultations (January 12, 2021 Workshop)
Home Base will be offering a training opportunity for mental health clinicians, licensed in Massachusetts, interested in learning and implementing Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT). CPT is an evidence-based cognitive-behavioral treatment for PTSD. The training program will include a 4-day virtual workshop and weekly group consultation for the subsequent 6 months to workshop participants. The first day of the workshop will consist of training in military culture, co-occurring substance use disorders, and assessment of PTSD. Participants are expected to do role-plays in class to practice CPT techniques, and must attend all 4 days of the virtual training.
Consultation consists of a weekly, 1 hour group call led by two Home Base CPT trained therapists to support newly trained clinicians in implementing the CPT treatment protocol in clinical practice. Research demonstrates that consultation is strongly correlated with implementation in clinical practice.
Full attendance is required for social workers and psychologists.
