The coronavirus pandemic brought on a mental health tsunami. Over the past six years, therapists have seen new and heightened mental health challenges surrounding social isolation, the increased use of technology and disruptions to daily routines. According to the CDC, the percentage of adults with recent symptoms of an anxiety or a depressive disorder increased from 36.4% to 41.5% from August 2020 to February 2021, and the percentage reporting that they recently needed but did not receive mental health counseling or therapy jumped from 9.2% to 11.7%. Another study published in the Lancet journal found that daily COVID-19 infection rates and reductions in human mobility were associated with increased prevalence of major depressive disorder.

Now in it's 14th year, CBC is again offering a five-day training to help mental health professionals and students deepen and build their cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) skills.

I highly recommend this program to any healthcare or mental health professional seeking high-quality CBT training.

I appreciated how practical and clinically applicable the material was, especially the use of handouts, acronyms, case examples and role plays to help translate CBT concepts into practice.
