Many of the challenges that we experience are based on irrational and unhelpful thought patterns that impact both our feelings and our behaviour. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a time-sensitive, structured, and present-oriented form of counselling that focuses on problem solving and teaching individuals how to modify these distorted patterns of thinking. CBT is also one of the most well-known, researched, and practiced forms of therapy available to us. This workshop provides a strong foundational knowledge of the principles and strategies involved in using CBT. Participants will gain an understanding of which populations tend to benefit the most from CBT, and will be equipped with many strategies and tools that can be practically applied in their work.

Learning Objectives

Compare cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to other counselling frameworks

Identify which problems are more or less suitable for CBT

Explain a structured assessment and intervention process

Assist clients to identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs

Practice key behavioural and problem-solving interventions

What’s the difference between an on‑demand workshop and a one‑hour webinar?

+

On‑demand workshops are full‑length recordings of our workshops and allow you to explore a topic in depth at your own pace. One‑hour webinars are shorter, condensed sessions focused on key concepts and designed for a brief introduction or refresher.

Are live virtual workshops different from in‑person workshops?

+

The learning experience is very similar. Both formats are facilitator‑led and interactive, with discussion and activities. Live virtual workshops are delivered online, while in‑person workshops take place on-site.

Do I receive a certificate after completing a training?

+

Yes. Participants receive a certificate of completion for eligible formats, including workshops, webinars, and e‑courses. Details are provided with each training.

Can this training be delivered privately for our organization?

+

Yes. All topics are available for private delivery and can be customized to your group’s context, schedule, and learning goals.
