This intermediate workshop is aimed at practitioners familiar with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) who want to increase their effectiveness with culturally diverse depressed clients in the second half of life. APA workforce predictions show a shortage of psychologists prepared for work with older adults. CBT for depression is effective across the lifespan and other facets of diversity when clinicians employ key strategies. This workshop trains clinicians to identify and respond to age-related challenges in CBT for depression and provides resources for provision of services via telehealth. Suggestions are made on ways to advance professional development in clinical geropsychology. Original webcast date: August 11, 2021

• Demonstrate an understanding of the attitude, knowledge, and skill competencies for CBT with depressed individuals in the second half of life.
• Identify key considerations in the culturally responsive application of CBT for later life depression.
• Describe and implement at least one culturally responsive modification for CBT with aging clients.
