Professional Development

We are highly committed to the education of professionals.

Our belief is that the knowledge we possess should be shared. We are also interested in bringing the best and the brightest researchers and service providers to share their knowledge with our community. We achieve this through offering a rich and diverse calendar of professional continuing education workshops and a 2-year Training Institute for CBT focused on work with children and adolescents.

Training Institute for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

We offer a 2 year Training Institute for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Children and Adolescents. The Certificate training includes didactic presentations and small group consultation sessions. The 2022-2024 program will remain virtual for both the didactic and consultation groups. You may choose to participate in the full institute to earn a certificate in CBT training, or purchase each didactic as a standalone CE or home study. Consult groups are reserved for full Institute only. For additional information, click here.
