THE PROGRAM

This is a two-part training program for people seeking training and/or supervision in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
Each of the training modules can be offered to organizations or groups as stand alone sessions. Please contact facilitators for more information.

Part 1 Training

6 modules covered over 4 full training days and 1 evening
Each training day is approximately 8 hours in length and requires independent study including reading between training days
Training can be offered on site in Sudbury, Ontario or via distance education
There will be role play included as part of each module and every participant will take their turn in the role of the facilitator, the client and the therapist

Training Modules

Here is an overview of the topics to be covered throughout the course.

Introduction-CBT the Basics
Case Formulation
CBT for Depression and Suicidal Thoughts
CBT for Anxiety Disorders, Panic Disorders, Social Phobia & PTSD

Putting it all together

Part 2 Supervision

10 weekly or biweekly supervision sessions
Each session lasts 45-60 minutes
Supervision requires the trainee to record a CBT session with their client and submit the recording to the supervisor
The supervision discussion between the supervisor and trainees can take place either in person, over the phone or via Webex depending on the arrangements made between the supervisor and trainees in the supervision agreement

N.B. The Academy of Cognitive Therapy and the Canadian Association of Cognitive and Behavioural Therapies has criteria separate from the Center for CBT Sudbury. Applicants must independently determine if they meet the requirements as set out by ACT and CACBT, should they wish to apply for certification. However, not meeting the ACT or CACBT requirements would not exclude an individual from being accepted into this program.
