Training School Mental Health Providers to Deliver Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy

Abstract  

Anxiety disorders are among the most prevalent mental health difficulties experienced by youth. A well-established literature
has identified cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) as the gold-standard psychosocial treatment for youth anxiety disorders. Access
to CBT in community clinics is limited, but a potential venue for the provision of CBT for child anxiety disorders is the
school setting. The present study examined a subset of data from a larger study in which therapists from a variety of settings,
including schools, were trained in CBT for child anxiety (N = 17). The study investigated the relationship between provider- and organizational-level variables associated with training
and implementation among school mental health providers. The present findings indicate a positive relationship between provider
attitudes and adherence to CBT. Self-reported barriers to implementation were also identified. Integrating CBT into school
mental health providers’ repertoires through training and consultation is a critical step for dissemination and implementation
of empirically supported psychosocial treatments.
