Sequenced Educational Program

This online course was designed by the creators of CCT, Dr. Victor Carrión, Dr. Ryan Matlow, and Dr. Hilit Kletter of the Early Life Stress and Resilience Program at Stanford University.

Foundations of Cue-Centered Therapy is a self-paced course consisting of 9 modules that cover the fundamentals of CCT and is the first required step to be rostered in the intervention (the other two steps are a 1-day training and consultation on at least 2 cases).

The course provides the theoretical rationale, goals, therapeutic techniques, and resources for each session of the intervention. Four vignettes created from the developers' own clinical experience are used throughout to demonstrate session goals.

The course is unique in that it incorporates different learning modalities including introduction of the vignettes in a graphic novel style, use of audio book format for the clinical scripts, illustrations/animations to teach key didactic concepts, and quizzes and interactive exercises to enhance learner knowledge. 

Foundations of CCT is approved for 6.00 continuing education AMA PRA category 1 credits (more information). Trainees who complete the course will receive a Certificate of Completion.

In this course, trainees will gain experience applying the principles of CCT  through case examples and small group exercises/role plays. Designed to surface assumptions, questions, and common challenges, the trainees will discuss their experience with course trainers to deepen their understanding of CCT and learn strategies to address challenges that may arise in the clinical setting.

Trainees engage real-time with each other and with CCT trainers in this live 8-hour course which is typically delivered over 2 consecutive days (either virtual or in-person). Maximum enrollment is 30.

Theory and Practice of CCT is approved for 7.00 continuing education AMA PRA category 1 credits. Trainees who complete the course will receive a Certificate of Completion.

Prerequisites for the Theory and Practice of Cue-Centered Therapy:

• Completion of the Foundations of Cue-Centered Therapy course

• Review of the Cue-Centered Therapy Manual
   

Requirements for CME:

• Must be present in all 8 hours of the course with active participation

The Applications of Cue-Centered Therapy course uses the case consultation format to provide trainees with guided practice and personalized feedback as they apply CCT with their own clients in their own clinical setting. The case consultation sessions follow the flow of the 15-week CCT program so that trainees, together with CCT trainers and a small group of other trainees, can plan and debrief each session for their client. 

CCT trainees will complete a minimum of two CCT cases over the course of 15 group consultation sessions. The 1-hour case consultations are held bi-weekly (trainees may miss up to two sessions). The consultations may be extended by two to three sessions if needed to complete a case. CCT trainees are expected to present in at least 5 of the 15 sessions. To assess fidelity, CCT trainees will discuss treatment activities and outcomes at each consultation session and will submit a treatment summary at the end of their case activities. 

The first session of the Applications of CCT course includes introductions, expectations, verification of cases, and the format of the case consultations. The subsequent sessions will have 15 minutes of didactics on session objectives and 45 minutes for case presentations. 

Prerequisites for the Applications of Cue-Centered Therapy Case Consultations course:

• Completion of the Foundations of Cue-Centered Therapy course and the Theory and Practice of Cue-Centered Therapy
• Review of the Cue-Centered Therapy Manual
• Proof of licensure in a mental health or related field will be collected prior to enrollment in this course
