Have you attended a previous training in CBT for psychosis or CBT for First Episode Psychosis and spent some time working with clients, ideally with case consultation? Looking to take your competence to the next level with schema and core belief change, work with complex cases such as command hallucinations or thinking about the integration of third wave techniques? Then this workshop is for you!

Advanced CBT for Psychosis

  • This workshop provides 12 hours towards your 40 didactic hours required for future CBTp accreditation (www.nacbtp.org/resources)

  • We have transitioned all our trainings to a new hybrid format. They will now consist of material to work through online and on-demand, plus two live 3 - hour webinars to consolidate this material with experiential exercises.

  • This will makes our trainings accessible to all, including those with mobility issues and/or cognitive difficulties as it allows you to work at your own pace in the comfort of your own home, keeping live Zoom time to a minimum. Live Zoom webinars are also scheduled to maximize focus and concentration with frequent comfort breaks and interactive roles plays and other exercises.
