CBT for Schools Training Foundations

---

Condensed learning opportunities aligned with SMH-ON PEI trainings offered throughout the school year.

Designed for supervisors and clinical leads, these sessions provide a high-level training overview of key concepts, core objectives, and practical implementation considerations to support clinician learning, supervision, and practice integration. Sessions are led by training leads and focus on supporting selection, uptake, implementation, and sustainability within local school board contexts.

In foundations training sessions, mental health leaders will learn to: 

understand the key concepts, core objectives, and intended outcomes of PEI trainings offered by SMH-ON, to support informed selection and alignment with their school board needs;  identify practical implementation considerations that support clinician learning, supervision, and integration of PEI approaches into school mental health practice;  apply strategies to support uptake, sustainability, and ongoing implementation planning within their local school board context. 

CBT for Schools is a skills-based training designed to support school mental health professionals in applying the foundations of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) within the school setting. CBT for Schools introduces, or provides a refresher on, the core principles and practical use of CBT within school settings. This non-manualized approach emphasizes flexibility and the use of brief, skills-focused CBT strategies while using measurement-based care to monitor and reflect on student progress.
