ABFT Introductory Workshop Series
For clinicians, mental health professionals, social workers, and counselors. Attachment-Based Family Therapy (ABFT) is a research-supported, structured approach to family therapy that focuses on the root causes of depression and suicidal thinking in teens. Clinicians also apply it to trauma and anxiety, and use it alongside treatment for eating disorders.
This three-day workshop combines Fundamentals of ABFT with an in-depth Core Methods series, including case discussions, tape reviews, role-plays, and the ABFT adherence checklists.
