Training and Consultation Resources

Web-Based Training

Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). Distance learning course on TF-CBT: www.musc.edu/tfcbt

Web-based training in TF-CBT is available as an adjunct or precursor to attending training workshops. The website training may be accessed free of charge. Therapists typically benefit from a 1- to 3-day intensive initial training course, as well as advanced training seminars after some experience implementing the model. Access to written resources such as books and treatment manuals (listed below), ongoing consultation or clinical mentoring, and regular clinical supervision are important complements to any web-based training.
