Overview

Anxiety, in moderate doses, can have many benefits. It can motivate us to put in maximum effort and help us know what matters to us most. However, unrelenting anxiety can interfere with functioning and lead to diagnosable mental health problems in children and adolescents.

As such, anxiety disorders are one of the most common issues found in pediatric clinics today. Fortunately, there are good treatments available. Supported by more than 75 studies, CBT is considered the go-to talk therapy for child and adolescent anxiety, thanks to the great efficacy of exposure.

In this workshop, Dr. Michael Southam-Gerow provides an engaging and practical look at how to perform exposure therapy for anxious children and adolescent. In this workshop, participants will learn validated strategies to practice exposure well. The workshop will include a focus on :

How a strong initial assessment leads to fear ladders that promote treatment success.
Foundational psychoeducational principles needed for exposure.
The basic exposure approach.
Variations across diagnostic categories.

Unlike our other courses, this one is presented in audio only.
