Description:
The principles of Solutions Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) have been increasingly applied to areas beyond clinical psychology, such as in education. Helping children and adolescents in school look beyond their current struggles and challenges towards their strengths and values in order to encourage and empower them to make behavioral changes in the direction of their own goals, is a philosophical foundation behind the practical tips in this webinar presentation. In addition, the components of the TEAM-CBT model (Dr. David Burns) are used to describe a method of working with children and adolescents such that the students themselves feel lowered resistance to checking on their thoughts and challenging feelings, and begin to reframe those in ways that move them toward their own goals and values. By engaging with students using unconditional positive regard and empathy, school psychologists can help students externalize problems and their corresponding unhelpful automatic thoughts, such that young people can come up with solutions for feeling and doing better and partner with a caring school psychologist to feel proud of themselves and supported. Presented by Rebecca Comizio, MA, MA Ed, NCSP, in April of 2020. This individual webinar can be purchased for $25 (scroll down to purchase).

The concepts were relatable to classroom experiences and taught in a way that is engaging. There were also great links to books and podcasts that I am planning on looking into further.

“While I’ve seen other CBT presentations that are full of valuable information, translating that information into practice within the school setting can be challenging. This webinar was engaging and, just as the title states, provides a practical approach to using CBT within the school setting. The presenter did an amazing job condensing the main principles of CBT and provided visuals to reference throughout. Highly recommend this webinar and would be interested in additional CBT videos from this presenter!” -Rebecca

“I really enjoyed this presentation and appreciated how much you were able to fit into an hour. I printed out the power point and was able to take notes. I hope you consider doing a second presentation on CBT with additional mini lessons and more examples. It was super helpful. I’m also thinking about how this can be used with Zoom and the whiteboard or sharing screens. Thanks so much.” -Margaret
