Implementing and delivering CBT in real world settings can present challenges that can interrupt efficacy and make programs harder to sustain. Everything from resource management, staffing shortages, managing crises and lacking resources can undermine the efforts and intentions of even the most well-trained leaders. This 1.5 hour didactic portion of a previously recorded 3-hour workshop aims to provide tools, resources and opportunities to collaboratively tackle some of the most common challenges clinical directors face when trying to apply evidence based mental health programming in community based clinics and settings.

Learning Objectives:

1. Receive a refresher on CBT’s essential components for the treatment of mood disorders (including assessments) and apply them to leadership. 2. Gain tools for identifying barriers and facilitators of CBT in alternative or community settings, including clinician development.
