Description
Participants will learn how to effectively implement cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to help children and teens who suffer from depression. The experienced faculty team will include one mental health professional and one pediatric primary care provider.

confidence in using CBT for depression. - Four follow-up case-based group learning calls to help participants implement
the principles learned during the workshop. Each video call lasts one hour.
Participants can earn up to 11.00 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM by completing both components.
