Become certified in TF-CBT

Developed by Drs Anthony Mannarino, Judy Cohen and Esther Deblinger, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioural Therapy — or TF-CBT —is an evidence-based intervention that helps children, adolescents and their families with the emotional and behavioural difficulties associated with one or more trauma experiences.

We offer training in this evidence-based intervention for mental health professionals and organisations.

“Such a great training, it will be extremely useful in practice. So glad I was able to attend.”

– Psychologist, NSW.

“I loved the training, I found the demonstrations between Natalie and Gavin, role plays
and feedback opportunities extremely helpful in learning and consolidation!! The wealth
of expertise across the age range of clients was very helpful in thinking about my own
clientele.”

“I loved how well structured the training was and the online delivery was very effective
with the breaks. The case examples were helpful and points for questions as we went. It was also helpful to have discussions around single event vs complex trauma as well as different settings for treatment eg public in community or inpatient, private.”
