NC CTP Spring 2021
Advanced Training Conference

Reconnecting and Sustaining

The North Carolina Child Treatment Program seeks to address the gap between researched best practice and community-based mental health services for children and families overcoming trauma. Through the Spring 2021 Advanced Training Conference, NC CTP aims to help our Learning Collaborative graduates sustain and improve EBT implementation and learn about existing and emerging trends in community mental health.

This virtual conference, including three half-days of conference sessions and an optional half-day pre-conference, will cover an array of advanced topics aimed at enhancing clinical skills in areas such as:

  • EBT model implementation
  • Clinical considerations for working with special populations
  • Improving clinician engagement and support

And much more!
