WHY THE CYMHS CERTIFICATION MATTERS:
WITHOUT CERTIFICATION:
You have the skills, but no credential to prove your specialization to referral sources
Schools and pediatricians refer to clinicians with visible credentials listed on their profiles
You compete with every generalist therapist in your area for the same youth cases
Parents searching for help default to providers with specialized certifications
WITH CERTIFICATION:
Position yourself as a Certified Youth Mental Health Specialist, not just another therapist
Get listed and referred to by schools, pediatricians, and other providers seeking specialists
Stand out in directories and profiles where parents are actively searching for youth experts
Build a recognized specialty that attracts the cases you actually want to treat

COURSE MODULES / SCHEDULE
All modules are recorded and available anytime, even if you miss a live session
Day 1 (April 23rd): Module #1
DYSREGULATION & DIAGNOSTIC CLARITY
When a child spirals, you need to know why: sensory overload, trauma response, or behavioral function. This module gives you the frameworks to assess accurately and intervene based on the root cause, not just the surface behavior.
Format: Live - April 23rd 10:00 AM - 1:15 PM ET
Length: 6 Hours
Recording: Available If Needed
Day 1 (april 23rd): Module #2
TRAUMA & EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING
Trauma rewires how kids regulate, focus, and control impulses. Learn to identify trauma-driven deficits in executive functioning and design interventions that match the child's neurodevelopmental capacity, not just their chronological age.
Format: Live - April 23rd 2:15 PM - 5:30 PM ET
Length: 6 Hours
Recording: Available If Needed
Day 2 (april 24th): Module #3
SUICIDE, SELF-HARM & TECHNOLOGY ADDICTION
Two presentations that keep clinicians up at night. Get validated screening tools for suicide and self-harm risk, plus clinical frameworks to assess and treat screen dependence — the issue parents ask about and grad school never covered.
Format: Live - April 24th 10:00 AM - 1:15 PM ET
Length: 6 Hours
Recording: Available If Needed
Day 2 (april 24th): Module #4
SYSTEMIC CARE & PROVIDER SUSTAINABILITY
Youth treatment doesn't happen in a vacuum. Learn to coordinate across schools, families, and other providers, while protecting yourself from the burnout and vicarious trauma that derails clinicians in this specialty.
Format: Live - April 24th 2:15 PM - 5:30 PM ET
Length: 6 Hours
Recording: Available If Needed
Key Takeaways
After This Course, You'll Be Able To:
Differentiate dysregulation types and intervene based on function, not guesswork
Conduct structured risk assessments for suicide and self-harm using validated tools
Assess trauma's impact on executive functioning and design age-appropriate interventions
Coordinate care across schools, families, and multidisciplinary teams
