Most people who live with depression experience a significant reduction in self-esteem and motivation. In this training, we will take a holistic look at depression and develop skills for treatment planning that incorporate techniques of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy and motivational interviewing.
Using a comprehensive strengths-based model of treatment planning, the focus of this training is to equip you, the clinician,to support your clients in building strengths, motivation, and skills to manage their depression and make positive changes that endure.
At the close of this training, you will receive a set of worksheets to guide your clients in developing skills and strategies to complement your treatment planning and interventions.
You will receive 6 CE contact hours after completing this live in-person course and submitting the course evaluation. CE's are offered to licensed social workers in NY and the states/jurisdictions listed here.
