Deliberate practice of TEAM-CBT.,   ,  
The United States is facing a significant mental health crisis, with costs projected to exceed $1.3 trillion by 2040 and over half the population currently living in professional shortage areas. In California alone, the need for licensed clinicians is expected to nearly double by 2033. Addressing this gap requires highly efficient systems for training and supervising the next generation of providers.

Increasing the number of providers trained in the most effective therapy models, like TEAM-CBT, developed by Dr. David Burns, is a promising approach to reducing the suffering, morbidity, mortality and costs associated with untreated mental illness in California and beyond.

This workshop introduces Ultra-Rapid Consultation, a highly efficient format designed to help clinicians quickly improve their skills and identify the precise problems and solutions required to optimize patient outcomes.

Participants will learn how to apply the TEAM-CBT consultation model by observing demonstrations and engaging in hands-on practice, including role-play exercises.

Learning Objectives:

  • identify crucial moments in a therapeutic interaction where intervention is most likely to improve patient outcomes.
  • combine multiple elements of the TEAM model in the context of case consultation, including testing, empathy, agenda setting, and methods.
  • improve training efficiency by reducing extra background information and provides a specific structure that leads to rapid skill acquisition.
  • confidently offer empathy, support, and meaningful feedback to trainees or consultees who need urgent help with a clinical problem.
  • teach consultation skills to future therapists in order to help address the deficit in mental health providers
