Come to Chicago for a three day intensive training weekend facilitated by leading experts in the field. The Professional Training Institute is designed to provide health care professionals with practical training in current cognitive-behavioral treatment approaches for trichotillomania (TTM) and related body-focused repetitive behavior (BFRB) problems such as skin picking. This program is sponsored by the Behavior Therapy Center of Greater Washington (Silver Spring, MD) and the Trichotillomania Learning Center, Inc. (Santa Cruz, CA).
The simple truth is that not enough professionals are well-trained in effective treatment strategies for these problems. Most sufferers do not have easy access to a knowledgeable treatment provider in their community. This needs to change.
About the Training
During an intensive training weekend, attendees will receive hands-on training in the practical treatment of trichotillomania and related body focused repetitive disorders, such as skin picking and nail biting. Didactic instruction, case consultation, and experiential learning will be utilized to achieve training goals. By completing the Institute, participants will acquire up-to-date, clinically relevant information about these problems and the empirically supported treatments available to address them. Such training heightens provider awareness of the impact on those experiencing BFRBs, thereby enhancing empathy and concern for sufferers. It is the hope of all involved with TLC that this Institute, and others that follow, will exponentially increase the number of providers for persons with BFRBs, an historically underserved population. At the end of the weekend, a certificate of completion will be awarded to trainees. Follow up phone consultations will be available. TLC will promote trainees who complete the program as graduates of the Professional Training Institute on their referral list.
Underwritten by generous support from members of the Trichotillomania Learning Center, this training opportunity is offered at only $195.00 for the entire program.
Room rates at the Crowne Plaza O’Hare have been secured under group code TLC for the rate of $189.00 per night.
The Behavior Therapy Center is approved by the American Psychological Association to offer continuing education for psychologists. The Behavior Therapy Center maintains responsibility for the portions of the program offering continuing education. For LPCs and LCSWs, these credits should meet your licensing Board requirements. If you have any questions, please check with your own licensing agency for verification before registering for this training.
The complete program schedule and regfistration is available online at ww.trich.org. Register soon! Space is limited to 40 attendees.
