These workshop presentations will workto advance professional skills in school based mental health supports through DBT, CBT, and strategies for Safe Schools for Trans and Gender Diverse students.

School psychologists face a number of challenges with implementing best practice while managing high student caseloads, competing demands for time and resources, and often find themselves in the role of educating other school personnel on evidence-based practices (EBPs) and reducing mental health stigma. Ultimately, efficiency in models for assessment, progress monitoring, and practice delivery is the key to maximizing the number of students who can benefit from quality care delivered by school psychologists. This training will focus on a brief introduction to dissemination and implementation science strategies used in school-based mental health contexts. A modular approach to best practice that emphasizes evidence-based assessment and progress monitoring will also be introduced, as well as practical applications (e.g., role-play, group exercises) of common elements across evidence-based treatment protocols.

Learning objectives:

1. Explain what systems and supports must be in place to implement school based DBT (SB-DBT) with fidelity and how SB-DBT operationalizes mental health interventions within a multi-tiered system of support.

2. Learn the theory, assumptions, and principles associated with DBT.

3. Learn the five basic skill units within the SB-DBT.

4. Examine concrete program elements and supports for SB-DBT programs including practitioner training, supervision, student and family orientation protocols, and fidelity.

Day 2

1. Participants will learn the components of the Distillation and Matching model and how it applies to the common elements perspective of evidence-based practice.

2. Participants will be able to synthesize common elements information to build visual models of progress and practice monitoring for individual students.

3. Participants will practice applying common elements of evidence-based practices, including describing adaptations for the school context.
