CARIBOU CBT Training for Facilitators Course

Course Duration: November 13 - December 11 (6 weeks asynchronous)
Live Webinars: November 13, November 27, December 11
Webinar Time: 11 am - 12 pm EST

The CARIBOU CBT Training for Facilitators is an interactive, evidence-based program designed for healthcare professionals—including social workers, occupational therapists, and psychologists—aimed at enhancing the treatment of depression in children and youth under 24 years old. This comprehensive training adopts a multi-level approach to develop competencies in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) knowledge, practice, and evaluation.

The course comprises three key components within the CARIBOU pathway:

  1. Webinars: These sessions provide didactic learning about the CARIBOU program, covering essential theoretical aspects.
  2. eLearning Course: This component offers in-depth exploration of specific elements of the CARIBOU model, allowing participants to engage with the material in greater detail.
  3. Virtual Simulation: Learners participate in simulations with virtual participants, enabling them to apply the skills integral to the CARIBOU program in a realistic context.

Spanning six weeks, the CARIBOU CBT course blends synchronous and asynchronous learning, catering to diverse learner needs and promoting effective skill acquisition in treating youth mental health issues.

The three one-hour live webinars provide an interactive platform for participants to engage directly with a clinician, allowing for in-depth exploration of course specifics and facilitating a Q&A session to address any questions or concerns.
