Choose REGISTER/COMPLETE COURSE to complete the evaluation.
Alternatives for Families: A Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (AF-CBT) is a trauma-informed evidence-based treatment (EBT) designed to improve the relationships between children and caregivers in families involved in arguments/conflict, physical force/discipline/aggression, child physical abuse, or child behavior problems. AF-CBT training is offered using a structured Supported Learning Community format delivered in three parts listed below. All three parts are required in order to be considered fully trained in AF-CBT.
• Part 1: Foundations of AF-CBT via the NCTSN Academy Learning Center
• Part 2: AF-CBT Professional Skills Training (that's this course!)
• Part 3: AF-CBT Consultation Calls with Experts in the Field (more information on this later)
Learning Objectives
