MasterMinds Webinar: Game Based CBT for Child Abuse & Trauma

Описание: February 26, 2025
Presented by Justin Misurell, Ph.D.

Game-Based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (GB-CBT) revolutionizes trauma treatment for children and families by transforming therapy into an engaging, interactive experience. Designed to help children process the impacts of abuse and trauma, GB-CBT uses structured therapeutic games that make healing not just approachable, but also empowering. Through play, children build critical skills like emotional expression, social boundaries, anger management, and personal safety. Beyond treating trauma, these activities equip clinicians with tools to enhance parenting strategies and strengthen the support of non-offending caregivers. GB-CBT brings a fresh, participatory approach to trauma recovery, helping children and families find resilience through play.
