Description
This program will review advances in cognitive behavioral therapy from the field of Positive Psychology with a focus on practical, youth friendly, evidence-based interventions to promote resilience, positive emotions and personal growth in youth.
Positive Psychology, since its’ inception in the mid-1990s by Martin Seligman, Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania, has been a leading force in the development of innovative, evidence-based interventions for youth.
Positive Psychology contributions represent a noteworthy paradigm shift with respect to traditional cognitive-behavioral treatments. No longer is the focus limited to what is wrong with our client and what needs to be fixed. In contrast to traditional cognitive behavioral therapy and its’ focus on psychopathology, Positive Psychology offers a number of innovative interventions that focus on promoting strengths, resiliency, positive emotions and personal growth.
This training will provide training in practical, evidence based, youth friendly skills that attendees can readily use with young clients to help them be resilient and persevere through challenges, experience positive emotions, build supportive inter-personal relationships and pursue their passions with courage and confidence.
Through the use of structured therapeutic activities, client handouts and worksheets attendees will learn how to implement a variety of innovative Positive Psychology interventions such as: self-regulation, perseverance, gratitude, self-compassion, optimism, a growth mindset, grit, identifying & utilizing personal character strengths, goal setting, values clarification, communication & social skills, peer conflict resolution and many more.
In addition to learning skills to intervene with youth, the training will provide a number of practical methods to involve parents and enlist their participation in helping their children learn the skills being offered.
This training will provide a valuable set of clinical tools to complement traditional interventions and enhance your clinical competency with youth. Whether your young client is struggling with depression, anxiety, the effects of trauma or disruptive behavior, these youth friendly tools will help your client learn essential skills to develop a positive, fulfilling life.
