10-minute CBT: The BITS™ Course.
'10-minute CBT: The BITS™ Course' is a 2-day course from the Association for Psychological Therapies (APT), a leading provider of accredited courses for professionals working in mental health and related areas.
It is the only 10-minute CBT training that is APT-accredited and also gives you access to APT’s relevant downloadable resources for use post-course. The course is available for teams/organisations and can be attended face-to-face or online.
In 2-days you will cover:
Many of the best professionals working in mental health and related fields rarely sit down for formal 45 minute sessions with their clients. Rather, the way they work is much more suited to informal interactions lasting a few minutes and taking place as and when it is convenient. Unfortunately, sometimes these interactions rarely get beyond the "How are things going?" stage.
The BITS™ 10-minute therapy approach takes the view that many clients value these occasional, brief and informal interactions very highly. Hence the BITS™ 10-minute approach has been developed as an interface between the majority of professionals who need to work this way and the majority of clients who rather like this way of working.
The problem with working in informal and short bursts was always thought to be that (a) it couldn't be organized and (b) it was difficult to build up a sizeable effect. The BITS™ 10-minute approach takes the opposite view and provides the tools to do it:
1. It provides a clear, easy to remember, 6-step process for structuring short interactions. This ensures that every interaction is structured and purposeful.
2. It provides a constant reminder of the 5 key CBT factors that have to be the driving force behind an effective intervention, in a way they can be brought to mind easily and instantly.
3. "When the chips are down." The BITS™ Course will give you a simple mnemonic to constantly keep you on track, even when working with very challenging clients.
4. BITS™ provides an easy, informal and verbal (instead of written) way of evidencing the client's progress, and doing so with great validity.
5. BITS™ shows how to keep proper records to ensure both professionals and clients have the best of both worlds: brief informal therapy that is also properly organized and delivered.
For professionals who have long thought that their expertise is not being used to the full...
For managers who have long thought that they have an army of good professionals whose therapeutic skills are under-utilised...
...we believe that BITS™ is the answer.
