UCL Postgraduate Certificate/Diploma/MSc
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and other Outcomes-Based Interventions with Children and Young People
These ground-breaking new UCL courses have been designed for all professionals working in children's services, including social care, education and health. Participants will gain a knowledge and understanding of cognitive behavioural approaches, their strengths and limitations and how they can be adapted to work with children and young people, drawing on systemic and other approaches.
In the future, additional evidence-based approaches will be included to reflect a full range of effective interventions.
