Developing Evidence-Based Creative Interventions
Oct
23

Developing Evidence-Based Creative Interventions

For 2025, this training is approved for 6CEs with SW and Psychology boards. It is PENDING approval for 6 CEs MFT and LPC. We did not apply to ADC.

It can be difficult to use evidence-based models in practice. At times it can feel like all the knowledge goes out the window when a client is sitting in front of you.

This training will help clinicians take their knowledge of evidence-based treatment models such as PracticeWise, TF CBT, AF CBT, etc. and turn those models into expressive interventions using art and play. During the training, clinicians will learn several interventions designed from evidence-based models, how expressive interventions work to integrate and heal the brain, and how to design expressive interventions for use with specific clients.

Classes will be held at Seven Counties Services: 2225 W. Broadway, Louisville, KY
