Description

Description:

This intensive 2-day workshop provides training in the fundamentals of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression for behavioral health providers working with Service members.  The workshop will begin with a discussion of depression in the military, followed by a summary of the theory underlying cognitive behavioral therapy. Participants will then learn how to conceptualize depressed patients according to this model, plan treatment, and utilize both cognitive and behavioral strategies.  Participants will have the opportunity to watch video examples and practice intervention strategies through their own role plays. Full attendance at both days is required. Everyone must participate using a separate computer rather than joining a group of people viewing via one computer
