Only a few days left to register for Cognitive & Behavioral Consultants of Westchester and Manhattan's next Transitions for Parents of Young Adults (TPYA), starting this week on May 14th. TPYA is a DBT skill-based parenting program that helps parents respond more effectively to their young adult children's more challenging emotions and behaviors. In addition to the skills taught, TPYA provides a built-in support network of other parents struggling with young adults who have not launched as hoped or expected, thus reducing feelings of isolation in parents. The young adults do not need to be in treatment, though this group was designed as a companion program to CBC's SAGE program.

“The CBT Comprehensive experience was not only organized and well planned, but provided invaluable resources, demonstrations, and explanations to complicated CBT principles and strategies that increased my ability to practice and utilize CBT skills in my daily work”.
“I thoroughly enjoyed this training and learned far more than I anticipated. Dr. McGinn was extremely knowledgeable and professional. I feel comfortable implementing the teachings in my practice as a therapist. This training made me feel more confident as a clinician”.

. Perspective taking helps us make sense of social situations and understand the power of our own social thoughts, feelings and behaviors in all aspects of our lives.

A helpful framework, one we use in Cognitive & Behavioral Consultants of Westchester and Manhattan's social skills training groups, involves learning 5 key steps:
1. Notice who is present in the social environment and what is unfolding.
2. Recognize that you, and others, both have thoughts, feelings and interpretations about the situation.
3. Consider what another person may be thinking, feeling, or intending.
4. Understand that social interactions involve mutual perspective taking,
5. Make intentional decisions about how to respond based on your new interpersonal skills.

These processes support social awareness, cognitive flexibility, emotion regulation and relationship functioning. They are foundational to navigating peer interactions, resolving misunderstandings and engaging effectively in social environments. Perspective taking is not about masking or changing the person, it is about increasing the person's awareness, flexibility, and effectiveness in social relationships.

May is also Awareness Month!

A good social support can help those working through trauma gain resilience. According to the NIH, social supports include buddy systems and walking or other activity groups. Individuals, organizations, and communities can use social supports to help people of all ages and abilities be physically active together. These approaches can create inclusive and accessible groups and programs.
