CBT for Children & Adolescents with Anxiety Disorders

HopeWay | December 07, 2018

All children experience some anxiety; this is normal and expected. For example, when left alone at preschool for the first time, many children will show distress; a young child in his or her own room may develop a fear of the dark. Such anxiety becomes a problem when it interrupts a child's normal activities, like attending school and making friends or sleeping. Persistent and intense anxiety that disrupts daily routine is a mental health problem that requires intervention.

Common anxiety disorders include Separation Anxiety Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Social Phobia. The purpose of this workshop is to help clinicians:

  1. Identify and accurately diagnose children with anxiety disorders;
  2. Understand the principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT);
  3. Learn how to implement CBT effectively with children with anxiety; and
  4. Understand how families are involved in the treatment process.
