Highmark Health Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia Training and Implementation Initiative

July 18, 2022 to July 20, 2022

The Highmark Health CBT-I Training Program will provide competency-based training in CBT-I through a supportive process to clinicians. The training is modeled after the nation’s largest competency-based CBT-I training program implemented throughout the Department of Veterans Affairs health care system, which demonstrated training in and implementation of CBT-I to yield large improvements in therapist competencies and robust improvements in insomnia and other domains of functioning among Veterans (e.g., Karlin et al., 2013; Manber et al., 2012; Trockel et al., 2015). The focus of this Highmark Health training will be on the delivery of CBT-I in an individual format.

Description of the training process. Trainees will attend a 3-day, experientially oriented workshop training delivered by renowned experts in research and clinical delivery of CBT-I. Following the workshop training, trainees will participate in weekly, 90-minute case-based training consultation calls with an expert CBT-I training consultant and other training participants via audio or video teleconferencing for four months.
