Supporting adolescents and young people
WORKSHOP OVERVIEW
One day workshop
Research shows that the most effective form of ‘talking therapy’ for a wide range of common emotional and physical health problems in young people. A growing body of evidence supports the use of CBT to treat a wide range of child and adolescent emotional and behavioural problems including depression, generalised anxiety, conduct disorder, interpersonal problems, social phobia, school refusal, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Delegates will develop skills in helping adolescents and young people to understand and cope with their own lives and difficulties more effectively. There is a particular focus on behavioural activation and setting small, bite-sized behavioural goals which are based on individuals own unique values and interests.
