Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Youth
Description
Following the completion of the TF-CBT Web 2.0, which is a prerequisite requirement to participate in this training, this 2-day Basic TF-CBT training will orient participants to the TF-CBT PRACTICE components of TF-CBT, and help them to better understand how to implement the treatment with children who have been through trauma and their nonoffending parents/caregivers. Anecdotal case examples will be shared multiple times during the training to bring the concepts to life. There will be small and large group discussions, opportunities to watch related videotape examples, as well as a couple of role plays in which participants will see the trainer implementing some of the skills live. In addition, there will be the opportunity for participants to practice trauma narration live in dyads with the trainer able to move into breakout rooms to observe, answer questions, and to assist with fidelity.
Instructor
Felicia Neubauer, LCSW, graduated from the University of Pennsylvania School of Social Work MSW program in 1994. She worked in a community mental health center in Burlington County, New Jersey, first in a host home model JINS shelter program, and later supervised the Family Crisis Intervention Unit for the agency in Burlington County, also providing clinical care herself. Felicia then worked at the CARES Institute for 11 ½ years, under/with TF-CBT co-developer Dr. Esther Deblinger, providing treatment, as well as supervision, training, and consultation related to TF-CBT. She is an approved national TF-CBT trainer, and certified TF-CBT therapist. Since going into private practice in Medford, New Jersey 12 years ago, Felicia has continued to implement TF-CBT, as well as to provide TF-CBT trainings and consultation, with occasional training related to trauma as well. This included in-home provision of TF-CBT during her first year in private practice. Felicia continues to be “in the trenches” so to speak, delivering the TF-CBT model for youth who have experienced a myriad of traumas and their nonoffending caregivers. She also co-authored the original “What Do You Know?” card game that the CARES Institute published, and co-authored 2 versions of a couple of book chapters with Dr. Deblinger and CARES Institute colleagues.
