Date/Time
3 CEs
This workshop will focus on the role of “others”, such as parents and teachers, in the treatment of anxiety disorders in children and adolescents.
Understanding the influence of others and partnering with key people in a child’s life can greatly impact the success of a treatment plan. Through this training, explore the transactional relationship between anxiety and the environment and learn ways to assess related barriers to treatment, such as accommodation behaviors. Common family accommodation behaviors will be discussed within the context of specific anxiety disorders.
Additionally, participants will learn practical strategies for decreasing accommodation and increasing positive participation of others in the treatment process. Considerations for applying skills when working with special populations and complex cases will also be discussed.
