CBT

A Mental Health Curriculum Based on Cognitive Behavior Therapy

Cognitive Behavior Therapy is a collaborative treatment that helps people develop healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and behaving. CBT is based on the Cognitive Model, which illustrates the relationships between our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. The way we think about a situation influences the way we feel and act, and the way we feel and act influences the way we think.
The central idea of the Cognitive Model is that the way an event affects a person is more strongly linked to one's thoughts about the event than to the event itself. Changes to one's thoughts and beliefs lead to new behaviors, new reactions, and new results, creating a pathway toward a healthier, more joyful future. CBT skills can be applied to any situation, allowing the individual to use them as needed throughout life, as new challenges arise. CBT is considered the gold standard of psychological treatments with thousands of research studies that support its efficacy.

Is CBT effective with young people?
CBT has been shown to effectively treat a broad range of psychological disorders including depression, anxiety, substance abuse disorders, and various behavioral disorders. Anxiety, depression, and disruptive behavioral disorders are on the rise among young people, and CBT has been shown to effectively reduce these problems in a school-based setting.
Why Teach a CBT Curriculum?
Simply put, young people spend most of their lives in school. School is the setting of their challenges and triumphs. It’s where they learn academic subjects, yes, but it’s also where they interact with peers, make friends, manage conflict and stress, and make choices about who they want to be.
A school-wide CBT curriculum also allows a school to develop a universal language—and conceptual framework—for thinking and talking about the challenges students face. This universal language can deepen everyone’s understanding of what students are experiencing and facilitate more effective discussions. With a universal language, educators and students alike waste no time in devising solutions, taking action, and moving toward healthy outcomes.
