Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) Consultation Call Program

About the Program:

This no-cost opportunity is designed for clinicians seeking TF-CBT certification, but you’re welcome to participate even if certification isn’t your goal. Our main aim is to help you use the TF-CBT model with competence and fidelity, ultimately improving outcomes for the children you serve. For specifics on certification, be sure to visit https://tfcbt.org/certification/ and check out the FAQs at https://tfcbt.org/faqs/. Please note, Centene does not provide certification—you’ll need to go through https://tfcbt.org for that process.

This program lets you learn directly from expert trainers and therapists within a small group, gaining skills to apply the TF-CBT model effectively. Once you complete the consultation calls, you’ll be positioned to apply and test for certification.

Program Details:

• The Consultation Call Program features thirteen scheduled, one-hour phone calls led by an approved National TF-CBT Trainer, occurring twice monthly over approximately six months. Calls are held Monday through Friday during business hours. Each group will have 7 to 12 participants.
• All calls are conducted via Zoom, and you’ll need to join with your webcam enabled.

Participation Requirements:

• Be a contracted provider, work for a contracted agency, or be in the credentialing process.
• Hold a master’s degree or higher in a mental health or counseling discipline.
• Have professional licensure in your home state or be under supervision for licensure.
• Be actively treating children exposed to trauma.
• Have attended a live, two-day TF-CBT training with an approved national trainer hosted by a Centene health plan.
• Understand you must complete consultation within two years of the live training to qualify for National Certification.
• Remember that Centene does not provide certification; you must apply through the model developer’s website.
• During the first three calls, identify at least two or three cases in which you’ll implement the TF-CBT model—clients must be under 18 years old when starting TF-CBT.
• After the first few calls, you’ll present one or more de-identified cases using the provided TF-CBT Case Information Form.
• Be prepared to use one standardized trauma assessment during treatment (assessments will be discussed during the first call).
• Be willing, if requested, to participate in a brief follow-up quality improvement evaluation regarding your training experience with TF-CBT.

Call Program Structure:

The program begins with an Intro Call to answer your questions, clarify the process, discuss trauma assessments, and review TF-CBT Therapist Certification Program criteria. Calls #2-13 take place twice a month for six months. To receive credit, you must participate in at least nine calls within this series. If you miss three calls, you’ll be automatically withdrawn from the group.
