The five webinars here are comprised of excerpts from a day-long didactic Josh Irvine provided to three CFBT training sites: Altoona, Harrisburg/Susquehanna, and PCS. The didactics were presented during the initial four weeks of shelter-in-place when agencies were just moving to telehealth-only sessions. Together, these five webinars name the challenges therapists and supervisors are now facing, provide creative ideas for engaging family members using a telehealth format, and provide a framework for furthering personal and professional adaptation. Therapists will find these webinars validating and reassuring. Therapists are reminded that ESFT can help to anchor them as they experiment with adapting their usual techniques to a new context.
