Treating Anxiety in Children and Adolescents: A Behavioral, Emotional and Neurological Perspective

In-person Workshop
Friday, February 23, 2024
10:00am - 1:00pm

NYU Silver School of Social Work 
1 Washington Square North, Parlor, New York, NY 10003

NYSED and ASWB/ACE approved for 3 CE contact hours

Course material will include a definition of the nature of anxiety and an overview of the various types of anxiety, symptoms, causes and the most effective modes of treatment. The distinction between sensory integration impairment and over-anxious disorder will be explored and elucidated. A behavioral, emotional and neurological perspective will be presented throughout. An integration of theory and practice illustrating how different forms of anxiety are diagnosed and treated will be illustrated through three case studies, bringing synthesis to the entire workshop.

As a result of attending this workshop, participants will:

1. Demonstrate learning by being able to compare and contrast healthy and unhealth anxiety.
2. Demonstrate learning by being able to distinguish between sensory integration impairment and an over-anxious disorder by providing examples of each.
3. Demonstrate learning by being able to identify specific treatments that target different forms of anxiety and why these treatments are more effective than others.
4. Demonstrate learning by being able to wed a specific treatment with a neurological understanding of the various types of anxiety reviewed.
5. Demonstrate learning by comparing and contrasting the differences between generalized anxiety brought on by previous panic attacks and anxiety brought on by a complicated attachment adjustment.
