Our work has included parent education and skill programs, student education and skills workshops, faculty professional development, and intensive continuing education professional training and consultation programs for school and college administrators, faculty, counseling and clinical staff to build and strengthen their CBT prevention and counseling services for adolescents and young adults.
Our work begins with an assessment to understand the institutions’ needs and goals, followed by a customized program to meet their needs. The training is tailored to each institution's goals and have ranged from 45–90 minute presentations and parent and student workshops to half-day and full-day professional development, to intensive training and consultation (two-day, three- and four-day workshops followed by ongoing consultation until goals are met).
A typical sequence may proceed as follows:
- Needs Assessment to understand need and target audience
- Orientation and commitment workshop with key stakeholders
- (e.g., Deans, Provosts, faculty, superintendents, PPS directors, building principals, clinical staff, special education department, guidance/counseling staff)
- Training Selection and Implementation:
- Training sessions ranging from one hour-six hours
- Half-day and full-day professional development
- One-day to five-day workshop of CBT interventions and skills training and consultation;
- Implementation workshop with providers ongoing weekly consultation for six months or bi-weekly consultation for one year.
Whether supporting teachers, counselors, social workers, psychologists, administrators, parents, or students across school (grades K–12) and colleges, our trainings are designed to give communities clear, usable strategies that translate directly into classrooms, counseling offices, advisory programs, and home-school/college partnerships.
