Introduction to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for Youth Mental Health Clinicians

This one-day workshop will provide an introduction to common unhelpful thinking patterns experienced by young people seeking care from mental health services, and describe ways that clinicians can work with this population to reduce associated distress.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) has a demonstrated evidence-base across a wide range of mental health conditions affecting young people. This one-day workshop will provide an introduction to common unhelpful thinking patterns experienced by young people seeking care from mental health services, and describe ways that clinicians can work with this population to reduce associated distress.

At the completion of this workshop, you will be able to:

  • describe Mooney & Padesky’s (1990) model integrating biology, thought, mood, and behaviour;
  • recognise common, unhelpful thinking patterns experienced by young people seeking tertiary mental health care; and
  • articulate interventions to reduce distress associated with unhelpful thinking patterns common across a number of mental health conditions.

Tuesday 12 September 2024, 9.30am-4.30pm

In-person at Orygen Innovation Rooms, 35 Poplar Road, Parkville.
