TF-CBT and Caregiver Participation:
The Why, When, Where, and What Ifs

Caregiver participation in TF-CBT generally leads to better outcomes, especially for youth who struggle with externalizing behavior problems. Caregiver participation is measured not only by the amount of participation, but also by the quality of participation. The primary barriers to participation from caregivers are often not concrete barriers (Transportation, child care, etc.) but perceptual barriers (Past negative experiences with systems, shame, self-blame, etc.). This workshop will focus on helping clinicians understand the goals of caregiver participation within the TF-CBT model and identifying engagement strategies to increase promotive family involvement in the treatment process.

There will be no cost to agencies for the training itself; however, agencies must financially commit to the time and effort required to successfully complete the full training day.
