About CBT Training
CBT Training Centre of the North has worked with many individuals and organizations to train & supervise clinicians in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), compassion focused therapy (CFT) and other forms of training.
Brief intervention CBT training for primary health care providers and crisis workers is an appropriate alternative to the intensive CBT training and can be offered via special request.
CBT Training Centre of the North helps to prepare individuals to meet the basic standards required by the Academy of Cognitive Therapy (ACT) and/or the Canadian Association of Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies (CACBT) for certification/credentialing.
Training can be offered over one-day or several days and can be tailored to a specific diagnosis or individual needs of an organization.
We also provide workshops for organizations, clients, the public and students on multiple topics including psychotherapy, workplace wellness, 2SLGBTQ+, DBT, charting, socratic dialogue, PTSD, policy and staff development processes among others.
