Who Should Attend. AF-CBT training requires a MS/MA degree or higher. Alternatives for Professionals (AFP), based on AF-CBT (Alternatives for Families: a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), is designed to cover key skill components that can be taught by a range of professionals who do not provide direct counseling services to families, such as case workers, case managers, foster care workers, wrap-around providers, home visitors, and other professionals. AFP introduces and reinforces skills for engaging with families involved with the mental health, juvenile justice, or child welfare system.

About the Trainer. Training will be presented by Barbara Baumann, PhD. Dr. Baumann is a University of Pittsburgh faculty member and experienced AF-CBT trainer, with over 25 completed trainings.
