The Northwest MHTTC School Mental Health Supplement is excited to partner with Boise State University's Idaho Positive Behavior Network to bring the CBITS and Bounce Back trainings to mental health providers in Idaho. 

About the training:

The CBITS program is an evidence-based intervention designed to help school-based mental health clinicians support students coping with post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and behavioral problems resulting from a traumatic event. CBITS includes 10 group sessions, one to three individual sessions, and two parent information sessions. The group leader should have clinical skills to help students with trauma processing and the ability to troubleshoot if any students need extra help.

Bounce Back is an evidence-based intervention to teach elementary school children exposed to stressful and traumatic events skills to help them cope with and recover from their traumatic experiences. Administered by clinicians in Schools, Bounce Back builds resilience to help children exposed to trauma bounce back to a quality level of functioning and well-being in their school and community. Children learn coping skills, how to identify their feelings, relaxation techniques, and problem-solving strategies. The Bounce Back program consists of 10 group sessions, 1 - 3 parent sessions, and 1 - 2 individual sessions. 

*Trainings will be led by the Treatment and Services Adaption Center for Resilience, Hope and Wellness in Schools (TSA for Schools) and includes follow-up consultation through May 2020.

Audience: Mental Health Provider Only
