Training Workshop Schedule:
FIRST is an evidence-based mental health intervention for children ages 7 to 15 with primary problems of depression, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress, and/or disruptive behaviors. FIRST is a flexible, transdiagnostic intervention organized around well-tested principles of youth psychotherapeutic change. FIRST integrates multiple treatment procedures derived from youth evidence-based treatments for anxiety, depression, and misconduct. FIRST was designed, in part, to offer efficiency in training and support for implementation, allowing busy mental health providers to adopt a flexible approach, rather than implementing multiple model specific to each problem area.
The training is intended for school-based mental health providers, including licensed therapists, trainees, professional school counselors, and qualified mental health providers (QMHPs). A mental health license is not required.
CEUs will be available (pending approval).
The workshop will be limited to 30 participants, so please do not register unless you can attend all three days for the full time. Participation will be limited to providers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, or Texas.
Participants will be screened and registrants will be notified whether or not they were selected by February 20.
