This training is designed for clinicians who currently provide therapy services to children aged 3-18 at a CAC. You do not have to be nationally certified in TF-CBT in order to attend this training. However, you must have at least completed basic TF-CBT training which includes:

• completion of the basic three-day training on TF-CBT
• completion of at least 9 following consultation calls

(for more information on these requirements, read the national requirements here)

Due to the demand for TF-CBT training, we are currently only allowing 2 therapists to attend from any one CAC. Additionally, because this program is funded by a grant from the Department of Justice to provide training to CACs and MDTs within the Southern region, we will be accepting applications from only the Southern region (AL, AR, DE, GA, FL, KY, LA, MD, MS, OK, NC, SC, TN, TX, VA, WV and DC) at this time.
