This week, REACH is leading a CBT for Youth Depression training with Brunswick County Schools, equipping school-based mental health clinicians with practical, evidence-based strategies to identify and treat depression in children and adolescents. Participants of this training are building a strong foundation in cognitive behavioral therapy and gaining tools they can immediately integrate into real-world school settings to support students’ mental health and academic success.

Thank you to Brunswick County Schools for partnering with us, and to Novant Health for sponsoring this course through a generous grant from The Duke Endowment.
