What is CBT Therapy?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps children understand and manage their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to build healthier coping skills and emotional well-being. At Aar-Tas International School, our Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Program is thoughtfully designed to support children and adolescents with diverse learning needs in understanding and managing their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
